sorry, long time before reply...

how well? about 14 sec 1/4 mile now
mods to carb? i took off cold enrichment stuff, directed chargepressure directly from turbo to on top of fuel level (cheap enrichment when turbopressure rises)
bigger needle valve, it vas 1,5 mm now about 2,5 mm, seals are stock and it leaks gas, needle is only way to adjust mixture so its not stock ofcourse
