The "before shot"

One little intercooler...

One little GT28 Turbo :cool:

Freefaller · 26 Apr 2006 at 20:24

A bit dirty....

Rusty pipes... And the drain pipe from the turbo to sump.

Looking good!

Car gets tuned tomorrow (ECU remap etc...). And I'm putting new brakes on Friday (makes sense when you have more power

).

My bike's going to get lonely!!!

Oooo I like!

Any idea of how much power you'll be looking at (hopefully).

Someone has just doubled the smiles per mile

Freefaller · 26 Apr 2006 at 20:37

Well at the moment probably around 190+... Which is 50 more than I have (stock is 140bhp). Later, I'll be going for bigger injectors and a new ECU which will see me to around 230 or so... but one thing at a time!

Your engine is looking very nice. What car is it?

You crazy sonofa!

Oh that's going to be muchos fun. Any chance of a spin at the RR day?

Was checking out the FM site before tea, they are redoing the turbo kits at the moment, superchargers look good but turbo is prob the way to go, wouldn't mind knowing the cost of the bits then fitting and mapping and who did it for you, e-mail add in trust if you don't want to post it

There are still lots of kits still available, I'd keep away from the BBR kits though.

Have you changed the exhaust/manifold to improve the breathing, or is that a future mod?

It's changed down to the CAT. I will be doing a full exhaust system in due course. But one thing at a time eh?

Know the feeling, think a manifold is next on my list. The work looks spot on, looking forward to seeing it at the RR day.
