skidxr6t skids Donating Members 2,754 Member For: 11y 11m 19d Gender: Not Telling Posted 06/11/16 07:42 AM Share Posted 06/11/16 07:42 AM (edited) 400kw is still heaps of power, you'll have a nice solid 400kw and frankly things should last alright. that being said, hopefully the tuner can work something out with the turbo config. I hope you put heaps of ks on this build man. then it will be worthwhile. Edited 06/11/16 07:42 AM by skidxr6t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be going to the 1/8 mile at lakeside as it is closercto me .also they have events simular than powerplay . Might see you there one day . Skids yes at that power level the auto will also last lot longer. That turbo will be fine for that sort of power as well as I have just found a great web page that explaint back pressure in turbos .can see how that might give me some problems at higher rpm range . Now this is just how sh*t house some mechanics are .we had the mazda 3 serviced some time ago now , after we got it back it did not run well .we took it back to them 3 times with no result .after telling them to have another look at the plugs they changed they refused to do it .we ended up taking the car to the mazda place that we used to go to , they looked at the plugs and said they were the wrong ones .they fitted the plugs for a 2.3 engine and not the 2 litre we have . I took the plugs back to the guy that done the service before but he was not interested in it at all , he said it would not make any difference . The car used to have like a serge that never went away and loss of power under exeleration. I have known that mechanic for over 6 years so I would have thought at least he would have done the right thing by us .the plugs cost us over $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
