Talking Big Thanks To Joe @ GS Motosport

Well I picked the car up today and what can i say.

The exhaust work he has done is like a piece of art, It is bang on now as it only had one mount on it and that was solidly mounted to the gearbox LOL.

it now has all the mounts its supposed to and sits beautifully. (and no holes)

All fluids done, and gladly i have a 7.5 diff in the rear which is nice.

As for the engine well what can i say, Complete Transformation, Just like the saff was it is awesome. 5 Psi less boost but heaps more power and so much more driveable. It actually sounds like an escos should, shitty pikey bleed valve gone and map modified.

Before it was flat as a pancake and off boost it was a complete Joke, probably worst ive driven i had to change down to 3rd to get out of dartford tunnel lol.

Now its alive, it just wants to go, Its amazing how well it can drive in stage 3 form.

Absoloubtly awesome, Anyone in essex that wants a powerfull driveable cossie instead of a flat as a pancake unreliable boost junkie get it to him.

Cannot say a bad word.

Anyway thats enough italian arse kissing lol.

Do you have to alter the front diff ? or are the 4wd/2wd ratios the same ?

Cheers.
