then some xr8 alloys because of the shocking camber problem!

then came a avo intercooler 60LB injectors x force 4'' dump and cat converter and a dyno tune done by spiro from autotech at granville...... netted 306rwkw at 15psi (standard turbo and actuator) went to WSID and ran an 12.5 at 115mph on sh*tty street tyres

this power kept me happy for 12 months....

I then upgraded to a rapid intercooler and a custom intake and removed the battery and put it in the boot and fitted an xr8 bonnet

along with 15 cracks, turbo shop asked me how my engine was still going as this was the worst turbo he had ever seen hes words were the car was runnin lean as chit!

spoke to dale at che he wanted another $400 to touch up the tune I thought Fark that back to autotech I go!

fitted 80lbs and a eboost 2 then let spiro done hes magic

322RWKW on pump

344RWKW on E85 had more in it but the transmission didnt like it....

went to WSID ran a 11.8 at 120.1mph made me happy that's all I wanted was an 11 :)

week later and my poor old btr 4spd has decided to chit 3rd and 4th gear 1st and 2nd are perfect!

FML happens after I spend my last $2000 on a tune and new turbo housing!

Shy that what a graph looks like before being prettyd up. CHE have 100s of tough cars holding together, + a heap of dedicated drag cars.

Kosij loves hating them, but let's point out it didn't kick a leg out of bed, actually has he had to have anything fixed?

Cracks in a rear housing are common as, probs on 50% of these cars.

Nice Westinghouse.

Where did you get your brake master cylinder cover from? Been trying to find one for mine but can only get a cap cover, not the whole thing :/

I'm not saying every car they do is like that, just can't believe how up and down it is lol.

Can't say I've ever seen a graph pre-tune that looks or resembles anything like it. Wouldn't mind to be shown different though
