My summer holiday for 2013 - Ball Hill

[Mike The W]

Got back on Friday evening after two days and two nights in Ball Hill - the home of Hayward Rotary.

Thanks to Carl, Ian, Bradley and George for tolerating me hanging around the workshops, for their awesome work and for being top guys in general.

A highly enjoyable visit, and most importantly my rebuilt 13B is now properly mapped.

My life is so much better now that I have boost again!!:3gears-rh

Back home on Saturday we got the weather I\'d have wanted on Friday for the mapping - but it meant I could try the new map and porting on some familiar roads and I am really really pleased with the results. The most obvious and significant difference is that I\'m now seeing full boost at 4000rpm instead of five.

And there\'s a lot more to come! Boost is currently a meagre .77 bar (on a T51 Kai). The plan is to see how the rest of the car (and the driver!!) get on with this. I\'m definitely going to do a brake upgrade. Then maybe I\'ll go on a second holiday this year and get boost controller channel B (for BEANS) set up.

I can also highly recommend the Furze Bush Inn in Ball Hill. Nice rooms, excellent food and beer, great service. :guinness
