I wanted to run away but fireman sam aka Phil said it was safe.

Took seconds for a little boot fire to take hold.

Nearly had a claim of my own on the way home Mark. Actuator stuck shut so it wanted to make infinate boost. If it wasnt for boost cut on the AEM would of been engine number 3 i think. I managed to get it open today by pump but it didnt crack until 3 bar New one on order.
