Looks fantastic.... Can I ask what turbo has been fitted ?
Was it a kit or something you put together your self ?
What boost are you running ?

A turbo bird on stock brakes now that's scary :eek:

My mate runs a turbo at 230rwbhp (at the last count) he doesn't like the fuel consumption much :eek:

Jaws, I got the exhaust manifold,boost hat for intake and the intercooler from Graham over in the UK. Chinese turbo that's lasting a good long time. I put it together my self and then took over to a guy here to dyno tune it. 217hp on 7lbs of boost 12lbs of boost enough :)

Nice to meet you Jerry, Mine didn't have one either I had to buy it......

Big mistake........
Not a very pleasant lot as I'm sure you are discovering.
Lots of information here though.

Just don't put up a picture of anything in front of your house!!!
Gardening and DIY experts here also:eek::rolleyes:

That's alright I'm thick skinned. The "Balls" tool box is actually Chicago Bulls, basketball.
