They achieved that and made it significantly faster than the old model to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6BOOST Gold Donating Members 139 Member For: 16y 11m 15d Gender: Male Posted 20/05/08 12:42 PM Share Posted 20/05/08 12:42 PM The new car does NOT have a smaller turbo, I have spoken with Rob at garrett australia about the turbo when we were talking about another subject, he went into detail, but I don't want to repeat it, so I will tell you all that responsiveness will be up, and power potential will not be affected. It still carries the same rear, just different comp wheel.6BOOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By looking at the heathshields in the engine bay it does look a bit smaller, but this could just be positioning with the new manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
