But do you know RRP or nah?

I think I saw $1800-1900 rrp?

Wonder if they'll do another special in a year or so time? .... am I a gambling man...not so much :P

Edit: so you planning on 19psi Bomber?

Spool - OMG! What an awesome little turbo. Absolutely nuts acceleration and mid range - oh my. Have to learn throttle inputs all over again. Gave it one hard go and it spun all through second until I lifted haha.
Was 30+ in the cell today but still punched out high 350's back to backs. Wanted it repeatable so have got it settled at 17psi.
If you go onto Hi-torque's facey page, a vid of a dyno run is on there.

Yeah just searched your thread and noticed Plaz piping with PW TB elbow?

Does that mean you went stage 1 piping and PW elbow?

And therefore their stage 1 clears turbo side (cause pretty sure their website says needs stage 2 piping to clear plaz 4" turbo side??)

Or was that a super old post and you actually have stage 2 ATM?

Cheers!

An offshoot company called coolerwerx from memory which were affiliated with plazmaman somehow, were selling these kits on ebay. I have been told that plazmaman also supply PWR which makes sense because they're identical.

All you need to ensure is that if going turbo side, the hot side pipe (directly off the turbo) raises up and loops over back towards the power steer drip tray which you'll have to trim a smidge by the way. That will give you the necessary clearance to run the 4" inlet underneath. With a stepped silicon on the cold side, it will plumb up to the Process West throttle body elbow for a perfect fit.

When I did it there were limited kits available hence the two manufacturers. That said, it all aligns and clears everything as it should. I've been told if you go the bigger diameter on the cold side you may run into issues with clearance with the battery relocation, so you may want to check that before you buy.

For a guaranteed fit, go the PWR kit with process west tb elbow. Or, buy the whole deal from p/west. Hope that helps :)

Well it seems I got lucky and experienced a fault certainly my tuner hasn't had before. After the boys went to pains to iron out the tune and as good as the chart looked, my friend 'surge' came back :( Clearly with everything we'd swapped out and tried something stupid was eluding us. Well, I'm thrilled to finally say it's finally fixed. The culprit was the bosch bov. Swapped it with a turbosmart single port and surge is 100% gone. The bosch unit was only seating properly at full boost hence with lighter inputs it would leak boost intermittently creating the surge. Not saying that we should all run out and replace them but they're only rated to 15psi. Car is smooth as silk now across all inputs at different load. It will need to go back in though to check the tune to ensure were ok with boost early on. Wot no issues I suspect. Finally happy days :)
