Such good value when on special. Basically an easy 500hp with mad spool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that just go in your factory housing and you're ready to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably essential.* Clutch upgrade.* Intercooler might - not sure if it's essential or just very helpful. I grew tired of hot weather power drop-off.* Exhaust and cat upgrade.* Fuel pump upgrade - you might find this is essential.Guys - you can see my use of the words "probably" and "maybe". Let's know what's essential when fitting a GTX3576 turbo centre.Lennox - Í could have saved a couple of thousand by getting the turbo upgrade and intercooler done the first time. The lack of puff over 5500rpm and the hot weather drop-off have always bothered me but I thought a cat upgrade and bigger injectors would keep me happy. Biting the bullet and getting it all done once means you will save the cost of the 2 or 3 tunes before you decide to go for the turbo and intercooler upgrade. Yes this turbo from MTQ comes with a new inlet housing that requires an adaptor to fit it onto the Process West intercooler. I'd contemplated having a go at fitting it myself. Glad I didn't when I saw the work that Autotech guys did. PAH Edited 19/09/14 04:21 AM by PAH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
