    Use another car sitting next to one being flashed with jump leads running across. Not ideal but its so hard to get a regulated supply for this purpose.. only found one seller and they wanted around ?450+VAT.

    Yes it is hard to get a regulated supply, especially on the go but The running Engine from another vehicle is a good source. I'm going to fit and Anderson connector underneath the grill on my van and make a nice long set of these.

    Who needs a turbo when you have a stupidly quick naturally aspirated engine?

    Why you don't make it?You have some skills to do that?I can help you with power supply 0-24V and 3A (enough if you have battery on you car and it is also enough if you work on bench with ECU).

    Your charger won't charge VRLA batteries very well... you will be there all day with that.

    Battery chargers aren't stable... They can spike a high voltage which could interrupt flashing creating a nice door stop for your office door...
