(After 2 years with the Turbo, I still miss the bottom end pull of my old AU 5ltr)....Mal<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Mal, I don't think there is any substitute for cubic inches when it comes to initial torque from idle to 1500 revs. The Nizpro revised piping gives better response from say 1800 revs, but for off-idle torque it's very hard to beat a 5-6 litre V8 (fyi I've had 8 V8's). Also, I don't think that this new software has independent cam control, (correct me if I'm wrong), so retaining the inefficient factory inlet piping, and without the independent cam control, I would not expect much extra low down torque.I'm going down the more expensive path of Motec with independent cam control feature and larger turbo, so that'll be interesting to see what low down improvement in torque is possible.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you have fitted it yourself.There are that many different systems being talked about I am wondering which one this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
