psd fixed my car n done a very nice job

the smoke was caused by a popped oil seal in the charger!

the g40 is back on road n its run in, its definetly faster since psd had a look at it as the mustang only really pulls away after 90 mph and that nit pushing the g40 past 6500 RPM so im very pleased.......until the exhust centre section caught a lovely gaping hole n now it sounds like a lwan mower

wats next? boost leak? flat tyre? god this will be some thing to look back on for sure!

I hope that this time around you have learnt a few things from your shock horror experience.

Did PSD advise you on how to maintain and drive the car for best performance and life? If so then use it.

G40's power is all good upto about 100mph, yes they can go further but they aren't that brilliant over 100mph.

At the end of the day you are comparing this to a mustang, some of them things have 6 litre engines or more. You are not going to beat one of them easily, especially not at high speeds. Enjoy the G-power at safe speeds and on fast A roads/Dual carriage ways rather than all out drags with a mustang.

You can still thrash a Chavo VTS by sticking to the speed limits you know.
