Gonna be good fun & seriously quick if I can get it down. Cant wait to find out about the box so I can make my proper decision about the turbo. Either way if the stocker does stay im gonna have it brought on so hard it hurts the passengers necks. lolYours should be rank in a manual. I cant even imagine it. I think I would of hurt myself many times over. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im almost half keen to put the std turbo on a etm manifold & just have it set up nice for the street & then have a good strong race fuel tune for the track & dyno days. Plenty have gone 10's tith the std turbo. If the box comes back not too bad im not gonna beable to help myself. Would be a shame to have this solid setup & not take full advantage of it.Bloody manuals & there slippin clutches. Have you looked into what your gonna put in? No reason once that's soughted you cant turn the wick up & go for it. 20psi & a manual is a recipe for a whole heap of fun & smoke. Cant wait to see how ya go. Does the eng run smooth & quiet?

I was suprised how quiet it actually is.. you will bevery happy with yours when you get it.. they have come along way from there first motors that were noisy.. well worth the money..I will try and clock up 100k's tomorrow and give it an oil change like I was told to get all then crap left from the build... im going to run mineral oil for a couple of changes like brad said then go to synthetic around 3000k's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat em mean to keep it keen. I'm glad your happy with it I recon the new mahle pistons he's using now would definatly of helped it in the noise department. We'll definaltly test it out anyway, one way or another. Got to love warranty that's all I can say!!!Yeah I think your right about the std turbo on the high mount I dont think I would have any trouble selling it & at least that's one thing I can cross off the board as far as trying. At least I know im not gonna be disappointed in it because if anything response will improve & its bound to improve topend power. Bloody too many options. lol.Would ya go that big on the clutch I thought that would be a pain to drive? I dont really know much about the clutches for obvious reasons but will a option 3 cop it??? Might be abit freindler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
