Well i guess i'll go give MAD a ring lol. I see they come highly rated on here which is good.

Anyway here is the car in question with weirdest turbo i have ever seen, massive compressor but super small exhaust housing. The compressor can run 550bhp but the exhaust housing looks like it can only flow mid to high 300's max

Hi steve how you doing mate? Yeah i love it mate although it has a twin plate clutch which makes every hill start quite eventful lol, you almost need to use both feet just to depress it lol.

Can't wait to change the exhaust housing and get some decent power, I think finding one is going to be a problem.

Cheers rod will do.

Steve/Stu yeah i'm good hoping to be alot more sociable this year do a few trackdays and a santapod visit or two..Manifold has 2 hairline cracks and manifold gasket looks like its blowing slightly so this is top of the list.

Helen i guess that goes to show the quality of his work, i'm giving mark a ring next week and trying to sort a better exhaust housing for a touch more power lol

You will not find someone better then MAD for any performance car especially Evo's the que is normally a long one to get in but well worth the wait

That fanimold looks a bit funky/DIY mate... how are these things at holding 450ish on the standard engine and transmission (except clutch, which are shit for proper use as standard) too??


Cheers,
Grant

He has worked on my car since I bought it 5 years ago. I trust Mark with her. And like I said I'm happy to travel down from the North East when she needs looking at again.


Hope you manage to get sorted

manifold is a greddy item which has been re-welded as these are prone to cracking...which mine has again lol.

having a nightmare finding a larger exhaust housing for the greddy turbo, no-one seems to stock these or have a clue where to even try...?
