I think BP might be the only company that guarantees the quality of its fuel at the point of delivery. That's good enough for me. Pity they don't produce E85!

So Veva, is the fix for the diff the True Trac? Or is there something to do with the crownwheel and pinion?

What an awesome effort I have to say. 1.68 60 foot is great so you must have a good launch technique. Sounds like a top day so enjoy the moment........now what's next for mods?

Tunehouse do their own conversion and it ends up looking like it came out with it from the factory: Here's the engine oil cooler; Holes have been drilled in the plastic wheel arch cover to promote airflow through the core. Done after the photo). And here's the ZF cooler ZF cooler also runs a thermatic fan which was installed after the photo was taken. These coolers have been in for 18 months and there have been no issues with the gearbox. Cold changes are just the same as warm changes......firm but fair

Sure, and you're doing the right thing by asking around. My point is not to have cost as the only criteria for the correct path to follow. It's a balance of cost, quality of product and quality of service. The site sponsors are a great starting point. Good luck, and keep us posted on how you go.

There's no shortcuts and no such thing as a cheap tune in the long run. You get what you pay for, so if you want to play, be prepared to pay. Kit does good, strong, smooth and safe tunes, and takes the time to get it right.

Ridgey, I have found Tunehouse to be excellent. Their attention to detail is first class, and they're very customer focused. Remember that you get what you pay for.

David, there are many guys who have blown their turbos because of this filter. Most (including me) do the frequent oil changes too. Problem is, the filter is too small. Just do it
, then your turbo will last a very long time. My box went for 18 months at around 380 - 400 rwkw before it started to complain. It lasted another 6 months before the rebuild became a necessity. -
I was thinking of changing to an Earls in line next service. Kit wasn't too worried as I change the oil every 4-5k anyway, it has just ticked over 55k's so will look at it next. Want to do the box but it has not missed a beat so I also don't want to spend $$$ for the sake of it I guess. Will see...

David, that sounds great. Yes the dilemma......what to get next. Gearbox?? Have you removed the factory oil filter in the turbo and installed an after market one? filter? I'd do that next if you haven't already. I'd also get rid of the factory heat exchanger on the gearbox oil and put in an aftermarket oil cooler. The factory ones are known to fail and put water into your gearbox oi...

Good stuff Max. Kit checked tune today after tank went in, 373rwkw. Has been going great, no issues touch wood. Now just have to save up for next step.... decisions....

G'day David. I think the PW surge tank is a great idea.....insurance, plus not having to run with a near full tank when you want to have a bit of fun.
The Phoon is going great. A few new goodies have found their way into it now. The THR low mount extractors are brilliant. It comes on alot quicker and is so much more responsive....and they look sexy too!!
-
Max how is the car going? Myn is in today for PW surge tank so I dont have to fill it 3 times a week!
Was close to selling a few months ago to a mate and looking at buying a sh F6. In the end I know after a couple of yrs I will want something else so I decided to keep the turbo taxi. When it pops one day I guess I can just take the next step...... There black holes these things.

HIDs suck balls in the factory lenses. I've just removed mine as the light output was crap. Very little penetration and too much spread (don't go there). Having gone back to the halogens which are much more focused, the difference is huge and so much better. For anyone contemplating going to HIDs, don't waste your money.
