Being 24 hours off from the original post is not late.
Funny you should say the brakes are not 100% . When the car was pulled out of storage today it was showing signs of a stuck calliper. I wonder if it hasen’t been giving us trouble for a while.
One of my counterparts* in this build has said the brakes have never worked right. But myself and the other just chocked it up to the fact tercel brakes were not meant to drag you down repeatedly from 100mph.
* 3 people in 3 days can turn a junk yard tercel with a rod hanging out of the block into a drag car.
Power brakes need vacuum, when you added boost did you add a one way air valve and a vacuum tank? With boost you might not have power brakes?

That is a really good point (and Vigo who brought up the brakes to begin with).
At 2800 rpm the turbo may not be fully spooled, but surely it is making much more pressure than idle vacuum!
When I saw the title of this thread I thought you were asking about how to do a E36M3'y paint job that would look good at 60 feet.

That’s next weeks project.
In truth it’s the last event for this car, we have a coupe shell waiting for the drivetrain, and an autobox with two hundred thousand fewer km on it.
