If I'm able to help a few of you guys experience the same pleasure, it makes it even better.Geea.

Posted 24/06/04 11:48 AM Author Share Posted 24/06/04 11:48 AM I took the car back to Amberley last night for them to fit a new piece of hose where the throttle body meets the black turbo crossover thing on top of the engine. After I had fixed it abit before hand the car seemed to be over boosting. After replacing the piece of tube the cars tune was checked and adjusted slightly. The new result for my 10psi map was 262.6rwkw's, a gain of 7.1 rwkw's. I didn't have time to get a dyno of the 12psi map but I believe that the increase was similar which would mean 277rwkw's. I'm rapt, the car had seemed to be fighting itself abit and now it doesn't feel like it is. I'm looking forward to getting out to Calder and seeing if the difference is reflected in the times.I'll also be seeing what sort of intake temps the car gets when its running down the strip.Geea.

I'll also need to have the full Whiteline suspension package fitted along with some bigger brakes to cope with the landings. Geea.

Tex Member 56 Member For: 20y 11m 10d Location: Brisbane Posted 24/06/04 12:39 PM Share Posted 24/06/04 12:39 PM Geea,Thanks for your feedback I my PM them later. I would like to do all the mods you have done but I lease my cars and change them every twelve months. It would be a waist and time consuming if I had to change everything back to standard. Doing the intake and Exede should be the easisest way to give the T more grunt. I guess this is the advantage of a turbo.

Mr X Donating Members 998 Member For: 21y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 04/08/04 03:42 AM Share Posted 04/08/04 03:42 AM Geea thanks for directing me to this topic. A very enlightening, simple to understand and cost efficient recipe for improving the turbos performance.(Some of the tech stuff on the forum almost requires an engineers degree to comprehend :well at least for dummies like me.)A thread every newbie interested in mods or those who,ve had their car awhile and now wish to mod should read.Well done and thanks again!
