Peter P Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi Matt and welcome to the forum. Classifieds here are a good place to look as you tend to find cared for examples that way. Pistonheads is also good and Jurgen at J M imports can source very nice examples with a spec list tailored to your specific needs. Best of luck with your search and hope you find what your looking for. Cheers, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racestyle Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's running 387 at 0.6 boost not sure why it's so low but there must be a reason for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's running 387 at 0.6 boost not sure why it's so low but there must be a reason for it Does anyone here know the car? Maybe ask the person who built it if you can up the boost to gain more power. Unless they've just whacked a turbo onto it and not done any/enough supporting mods.

racestyle Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's had torsion LSD, strengthened gearing, twin plate clutch, boost logic t61 turbo, tt crank and bottom end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Is it a converted NA with a weaker 5 speed box hence the low boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Did the person who you bought it from not tell you it is a NA-T? This means it used to be a non turbo and someone has strapped one on the side of the engine... Not to say it isn't a good car but you need to find out about the mods its had. If you want more power I'd be carefull as you would have to upgrade lots of parts to make reliable and that will cost £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racestyle Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah I new it was an na with a turbo added on but I would have thought with the gearbox being strengthened and the tt crank and bottom end it would cope with more than 0.6 boost, the car has had a lot of ££££ spent on it with hks boost controller, fuel pressure regulator and the other bits too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
