Everyone needs a little help from time to time though and we&#8217;re more than happy to work alongside the owners efforts. \u00a0The car has a pretty big turbo blowing through twin 40 DHLA carbs with a Canems ECU controlling the sparks. Every part of the system had faults that\u00a0interfered\u00a0with each other making the task of getting it running like trying to knit spaghetti.
