hi tom

when it's finally mapped ill defo take you for a spin in it

all it needs is the injectors (1000cc) fitting the15 postion boost controller in the ecu , fitting 5 bar map sensor , fitting the air injectors and live map

all the car has is 3 degrees ignition after 4550 rpm just a base map to use the gt30 it wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding at the min ....lol..


the car should be good for a genuine 460bhp allday once it has all the right bits on it

tobe very honest with the internal gt30 i love it too bits makes some kind of postive boost at 1.500rpm totally different drive to a t34 car

it's like having a t25 on once you get to 3k the the turbo comes into play properly

it's really hard to explaing unless your in it this is defo a mondern everyday turbo

Looked to be a great turnout.

Apologies for not making it, really wish I could have, but was up in Ormskirk the night before for a birthday do and didn't make it back til 5pm so couldn't make it.

I'll try my best to come to one if there's another though, looks like there was so some great cars there
