What width is your rear rim & how hard was it to fit??

There 22x 9.5 rolling on I think 255/30/R22

I had to get the guards professionally rolled and double metal edges panel beated you can't tell it's been done it was given a factory look

Also you need good suspension and camber kit is important

It gives it a muscle car look 20's and the front and 22's on the rear

Can I ask what you do for a living?

Do you work in the automotive industry and were able to do your own work that way or was it just an afterhours hobby?

You have mentioned you experimented with turbo / specs etc... What have you been through to reach the specs now that you feel are best suited for ya?

I was a mechanic/auto electrician for a couple of years and enjoy working on cars helped heaps of mates with all cars too

I also done custom stereo installs as well..

I'm in the catering business now but most of my work is done after hours and on the weekends all I'm missing in my garage is a hoist...

As with the turbo specs

the power curve and spool with heaps less lag then others I've had

shows the best results throughout the rev range on min boost

Well it certainly helps if you have the mechanical / electrical / audio know how...

You would of saved a heap of coin doing a lot of the work yourself. Probably would of cost me double what its cost you haha.

Iv always been interested in a T04z. I know that recently a few people have gone bigger than that with the GT45 and bigger again... Seems that there arent that many that go with the T04z when they upgrade turbo - Seems to be the most streetable to me, but im no turbo expert.

What revs is it boostin? Whats the efficiency range of the turbo in terms of psi?

Eg, unless your running 17psi or more, the GT45 is not in its efficiency range etc.

Isn't the TO4z only good for around 30 or 40rwkw more than a stock XR6 turbo?

If so, how do they compare in the midrange when coming on? Do they come on harder at all??

Ha Ha...You can say that again I did save awhole heap... :spoton:

Anyway it starts spooling just under 2500rpm

The external wastegate and custom rebuilt stall convertor have there advantage and all helps with the efficiency of the turbo coming on boost and helps hold boost right through the rev range

The gauge doesn't go over 17 pound and holds 16-17 pound till rev limitor

I'm running a tial 44mm wastegate
