Finally got my Esprit!

I have to say, this car is awesome. Night and day from my 2000. The new short throw shifter is much better, the adjustable suspension feels fantastic, and the brakes put you through the window. The sound is the best part, absolutely sounds incredible with the new exhaust and blow off valves. The boost as of now is set below stock at .7, Stock is .8 bar, and let me tell you the car hauls ***! Easing into the throttle in 2nd gear produces wheelspin! I cant wait to see how it runs at 1.0 bar, but i had to order new wastegate capsules with a 1 bar boost spring, as it cant even hold boost now.

Stock with 100 miles on her, she made 344 rwhp. Once i get the capsules and she can hold boost, im hoping for 390-400rwhp. Not bad for a car that now weighs about 2900pds.

Looks great, what I really wanted to see was some video

Nice ride, keep us posted on boost pressure, because knowing you it wont stay at .8 bar for long
