Pretty good video on parallel vs single. 

Im all for simplicity and function but a sequential maybe beneficial in some applications but I really think the cons out weigh the pros

Haha 400 is no barrier for a 76

Bit of an update

Have some access for funds again so ive been talking about gearbox rebuilds again and im not getting the gtx3576. I want a 10 on my turbo

On that note my 20s were too uncomfortable plus 2 tyres had nails in them (but still holding pressure) so I bought some second hand staggered 18s.

Just chucked some fresh nt05s on the front and has used hankook rs3s on the back from the seller.

All I can say is WOW! Its nice to have comfort and grip again

Anyway obligatory pics

I can now see the 7 new replies. 

 

There was a youtube video posted somewhere else comparing twin turbo to single turbo and it seemed like the single turbo was better.

If the engine was a V6/V8, I could understand why twin turbo. However for a straight 6, is there really that much benifit going twin turbo?

Response all the way through the rev range, but less power overall is what comes to mind for me.

nah forum might be playing up? last post I can see was from Jan 15th lol The latest post seems to show up in activity feed, but cant actually see them when you open thread? 

I've been waiting to see the pics with the 18s on....but Im sure the forum will eventually catch up (seems to be random threads and sometimes the new post will appear in tapatalk feed, but still shows the latest post as being weeks old). 

 

Edit: BAM....just as I posted the rest of the posts showed up :P  ok looking rims (seem to see a few G6s with them? Don? And that other guys with a red one? (wombi or something? lol)

 

what size rear tyres and how are they gripping? much tread left? Obviously the first chunk of the tyre will be the best gripping, but some tyres need heat to make them good...

ffs this is really get old in the tooth. the previous posts were not showing up, hence my reference to someone posting a youtube video about comparing TT.

Funny enough two posts above mine, there is the youtube video today.
