Matt B Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 To Dude and all the boys at Vortex, Just wanted to say "WOW "and "Thanks ". Finally got my car back last night after all my trouble and strife and I am so pleased with it. :D As some of you may know I had lot's of trouble with my car not least of which was the turbo's giving up the ghost on me. But that's all behind me now as I now have a very sexy looking single under my hood... After my turbo's going Dude and Terry were very supportive and sorted me out as quickly as possible (Money Permitting) Now Matty Harwood is sorting the Electrics and bits for me. So I'm now running a Boostlogic T61 with 650's and an S-AFC along with other goodies and the power difference feel's immense. I now really can say that I have no regrets and although reliability is yet to be proved I think my turbo's going was a blessing in disguise. If you're thinking of going single you really should not worry about lag etc as I find the power now much smother and the noise... Well I just can't get enough of it. As for Lag I don't think it has anymore than standard and I would say less than a UK (Well the one's I have driven anyway) Anyway I'll stop going on now and just say thank you so much to all who have helped me get my car back on the road and specifically Dude for sorting all the shit with the MOT out for me. Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Matt the car is set very rich until it gets to the dyno allthough Matt the Mole is gonna try and trim it a bit , this is costing you LOTS of HP !!!!!, i think old Moley picked up around 60 hp within an hour of being on the dyno , couple that with the fact you will be able to safely run higher boost when its mapped and its quite feasable to say you aint seen nothin yet !!!

tbourner Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 God damn it why!!!! Can't everyone stop going on about singles!!!!! Now I'm gonna have to get one!!!!! BASTARDS!!!!! hmmmmmm....... money might be a problem though. Also Zoe won't be too pleased when I tell her (actually she will - but not when I say it's gonna postpone moving out for another 5 years!!!). This one's tricky.

Jake Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi Matt, I'm chuffed for you mate. It's about time you had something positve happen with the car after all the problems you've had this year. Originally posted by Matt B you may have cost me my bird... The girl that was with you at TOTB? I hope not mate, she's a real babe. Originally posted by Matt B Just do your self a favour, don't get in anyones car who has one. Or follow one! I don't know what your's sounds like but I followed Matt Harwood's car for 100+ miles down the A1 and the sound was awesome! I don't know how to describe it really..... the nearest thing I can think of is a jet fighter. When he nails the throttle it just makes an incredible screaming whooshing sound - it's fantastic!
