Tony has been tuning cossies for as long as you have been alive lol

99.9% sure you could get one through Tony cheaper than going direct to TT

Nope i going to go with my original plan mate. I know my saph is in quality nick and already got a lot of bits on my saph so wont cost much to get it to 450 providing the gear box lasts.

Maybe get a 3dr shell in a few years and literaly swap everything over.

What u think to that plan mat?

Anyone selling a tt t38then? Or how much is a new one?
They do rebuild gt series with a replacement core, and if an engine is good then you shouldn't just pop the turbo.

If your staying with a journal turbo then go T4

The reason i suggeste t38 was to so i could just get away a light head skim and multi layer head gasket. If i wanted a t4 i'd have the engine built for that turbo. T38 i can keep most as standard...hopefully

You can bolt a T4 on, nothing was done to a RS500 engine.

Well a few things but the Head, Cams, Comp ratio was all the same.

I've never even looked into the rs500 block! Im quite narrow minded in the info i take in. Usually its 205 block as that relates to me. Same with escos i know the big turbo and little turbo all have diffdrent bits but what they are apart from etc i got no idea

So whats diff between roller bearing and journal bearing??
