Default BIG THANKS TO BROM @ ZOO

Morning guys,

Just wanted to say a big thumbs up for Brom @ ZOO. Brom took my car on with a blown turbo. I tool this oppurtunity to upgrade the turbo and cams. Brom ordered me a GT30 and some BD14 cams. There was a lot of work involved with getting the turbo to fit but was done with some tinkering around. Just wanted to say Brom is a top bloke and A class service as usual, working late into the nights to finish it before i went on holiday.

funny you should mention the idle, its a bit lumpy, but i think thats because it needs Karl to set it up.

The big items to change for 2wd items are:

Front hubs, dampers, sump, gearbox, beam, drive shafts, diff.

Regarding idle, get Karl to set this slightly higher (1200rpm).

Afternoon Pete,

Cheers mate, the engine bay is completely dominated by the turbo

Idle is a bit rough but the revs need turning up slightly as Mike says.

As soon as its mapped ill come over mate. I had a chat with Karl and he said he cen do it next week sometime. Should be fun mate

Have you took the plunge yet and ordered the GT30?

Brom,

Gave it a jetwash today mate. It was really dusty but running really well. Brom is a top bloke, couldnt recommend him enough, and like brom says all his customers get looked after even though he is not well.

Its running grey injectors at the moment, hoping for maybe 450bhp. anywhere near that would be a bonus.
