Well, after my teething problems Dude has come and taken away my supra.

 

After the dramas of getting his trailor into the drive, then a huge oil leak and my mrs even having to sit in the drivers seat (fear of god in me!) we sat down and had a chat about what he can do for me.

 

It was a great feeling when he said 'its a good one' ,my supra. Theres going to be a few changes, Maybe even a nice brand new turbo this week!!!

 

will keep you all updated as the project goes on.

 

one happy chappy :D

Prob due to the XS Power manifolds being straight and not angled which can cause issues when fitting larger turbos mate.

Think of the power! If your worried about things getting pricey then set a budget and tell dude thats the max you have to spend then you cant go over budget and get into debt.

 

she was restricted to a budget by the previous owner and thats why im getting the dramas now. want the best in there so shes reliable...

 

and FAST hehehe

I'm in agreement with Jamesy. Dude and Matt both know what will suit your needs.

 

Just to whet the appetite though.

 

Nice all in one kit from Mr Whiffin

 

More options

 

Of course you can research everything around. Probably take a few years though. :)

 

Have a look through the specs of members cars, JamieP, Lee P, UK Rich, AndrewoW, Chingy, Matt Mufflemans ex car etc. :)

XS manifold is junk imo, when it cracks later down the line or you have over boost issues due to the bad design you will wish you had changed it when you had the chance, anything xs power kills the cars resale value aswell imo.

Dan will be calling in a min, it could only be an XS power manifold with the amount of pigeon crap you can see just under the turbo!!!!

The turbo looks like a cheap ebay one but is in good nick just appears way to big for a stock auto, the inducer is 72mm although the A/R is 68, I still think it will be laggy as f**k. I do have a plan:eyebrows:, speak to you in a min, im just taking my engine out ........again.
