fgvic Member 27 Member For: 11y 11m 2d Posted 04/08/13 02:32 AM Author Share Posted 04/08/13 02:32 AM Cheers BenDoCo! Was looking for a new thread Thanks for the detailed reply Henz! My mechanic said he wants to replace something on the turbo, can't remember what it was called but he said at higher power it isn't strong enough and ends up staying open or something. So not sure if that would increase the turbo limits or notThere is probably not much point going e85 if I am at the limits of the stock turbo, but I will definitely get id1000s installed, thanks mate!!

fgvic Member 27 Member For: 11y 11m 2d Posted 04/08/13 03:56 AM Author Share Posted 04/08/13 03:56 AM Ratter, I haven't organised a tuner yet, but he wanted to take it to the guy around the corner from him who, he usually gets to do the tune. He said will be $700 which I presume is around the standard. He reckons with my mods I should just see 300rwkw but I'm not sure if he lowered his expectations because he thought that was the max that I wanted, not the min. I want to see if he can get it down to pitlane though, if it's not too far from him. I got put on to the mechanic from my mates boss who go his ba turbo worked by him, as he was pretty decent and reasonably pricedHaha thanks Henz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drop the car to Mick@Pitlane to fit parts and then you know everything will be 100%. And trust me my cars put him through hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
