FYI... The guys in the States are currently waiting for engines. Meanwhile, we are making chassis modifications. For example, I am very tall and am having an IRL style seat molded in place to gain more headroom.

I believe nothing! If you're referring to the small black switch fitted next to the boost gauge: this is disconnected, and was an experiment that was never introduced - it basically switches off the turbos (well, throttles them right down) for "normal" driving.

...now it's funny you mention that, here a recent conversation I had in a car park:

A bloke came up to me laughing away - he said he had to recount what had just been said: he had followed me into the car park (his wife was in the car with him) and he said “look at that, it must be a kit car”, she then said (in all seriousness), “what like the one on the telly” – I told him that I hadn’t ordered the flashing bonnet lights or the aural computer yet (but that the teasmade was fitted in the engine compartment - he, of course didn't get that one)!!!
