I see cold engine coolant and what looks like cold engine oil temp. when oil + metal is cold they don't lubricate properly, performance wise, there will be slightly more petrol as its burning rich to warm up faster, however the cooler now lower viscosity oil will be preventing th turbo from spinning so hard, and will cause add'ed lagg. It also wont' do anything good for you bearings.
the gauges dont work, thats why they are reading where they are, the car was a 1ltr originally and the lancia engine has a funny loom, the gauge wires have not been traced or wired up yet as the cars only been on the road a couple of weeks.
whys that then mate? needles are obviously not broke as you can see them working, and what differance does a cold engine make? if you look on the rolling road video you will see the cars got a lancia 1600 8v twin cam turbo lump in!
will get them gauges working soon,lol
