What are people's thoughts on this turbo with all supporting mods running on a BL auto box?

 

I know it's good for pretty big power, but was wondering if it'll be any good running on a BL autobox and what a car running this set up (obviously with all the supporting mods) is worth?

 

Cheers for any help

Car will pretty much just be street use.... To be honest I have seen a car for sale with this set up and was wondering what it would be like before I got it and also why it is quite cheap - around £12-£13k)

 

Yea I realised it was pretty laggy - about 4000rpm before it kicks in right?

 

How is the BL autobox? Would a manual set up be better with this turbo?

That's the listing matey, thought it might have been someone from here but couldn't find anything with the search function

 

Bailey - for £12-£13k there isn't much around at pretty big power - if i'm buying a single tubby I'm looking at 600 plus really and on here they are going around £20 ish

It is lovely that! I've looked at it quite a few times now :) And the BW turbo's so seem pretty nice too

 

Only thing for me is that i'm not keen on a black supe (I know i can get a respray but don't get me started on bodyshops) and I would ideally like it to be minimum 600bhp

 

If not I would go for a completely different car like a TVR Tuscan or Cerbera, IF i was to sell my TT

Did find out who the supra specialist that built the car is?

 

Those look like additional injectors in the IC pipe?? If they are, plus the choice of turbo, I'd guess it was put originally together in Japan some time ago.

 

Spec seems good, for a car like this I would definitely get it to a Supra specialist and given a thorough inspection before parting with any money.
