grimie16 Member 45 Member For: 10y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: ACT Posted 13/11/14 09:39 PM Author Share Posted 13/11/14 09:39 PM 800hp Mate Bit of cutting needed to be done but a lot more stuffing around with the 1000hp, that's bait overkill for what I need anyway hahaAnd yea plaz battery relo and turbo side.If I had my time again though I would go the pw unit and make my own turbo side and battery relo. I've heard from a few people how easy they are to make, but once I actually pulled it out of the box I saw how basic it was, but ah well. I also hadn't seen ratters comparison between the PW 1 (Which requires no cutting) and the plaz 2 until after I bought everything. PW 1 is as good if not better according to the paper, still both great brands for what I'll be doing anyway. Cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimie16 Member 45 Member For: 10y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: ACT Posted 06/12/14 01:03 AM Author Share Posted 06/12/14 01:03 AM So, Just encountered my first problem, Was driving along the highway, went to put my foot down and noticed I had lost all boost. Vacuum was and still is as normal as ever just won't get above 0psi, no warning lights, was not over boosting, everything still looks normal under the bonnet, all piping still connected and all and sounds fine revving up until 2500 rpm in neutral. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimie16 Member 45 Member For: 10y 3m 7d Gender: Male Location: ACT Posted 27/12/14 02:30 AM Author Share Posted 27/12/14 02:30 AM So a bit of a delay in posting about the updates, but finally everything is done. After a drive from Canberra down to Melbourne I was set to get this all wrapped up. I showed up about half an hour to early at Pitlane (was a little bit excited) in order to get everything under way at the time we set out. So the car was dropped off and I spent a day walking the streets of Frankston. I had to head down further south that night so I sorted out a little hire car to last me the night. Somehow, Mick was able to get everything we set out on doing done within the day (Thanks a lot if you're reading this). This meant I was able to piss away the little Getz me and the old man had hired to get ourselves further south that night thank god. I was stoked with the end result, as was Mick. We ended up with 310rwkw at 14psi which was exactly what I was hoping for and drives like a dream. Can't say enough about the quality of work that shop produces, the car is now tenfolds better. Pitlane as a shop were a level above in my opinion. There customer service is brilliant and they work on your car like it is there own. The enthusiasm down there surely reflects on the quality of work produced, and ensured me that my car wasn't a "Last week at work" job like the attitude of some other shops I dealt with. Thanks again to Mick and the team at Pitlane, would highly recommend, even if it is a bit of a drive. 8 hours was not a hassle for that quality of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
