I think it's time we decided where would be the best place to get most ERAs together this years anniversary. I think the IMM maybe the obvious place, but anywhere more convenient to the majorty would be suitable - Any ideas?

Re: Turbo bar gauge does not go beyond zero bar

If the manifolds are loose or the gaskets no good, this will affect the running. Make sure you get a new gasket that has the metal inserts around the exhaust holes, also the figures you give for the boost are about right.
