Why not? And what hassle?? Best thing you can do is throw standard turbo away and replace it with something modern that's not older in design than me... Something like gtx2867 gen 2 that is good for 400+ yet gives you nice response. Pair that up with decent ecu and you won't recognise your car...

Already got GT2860RS fitted Mike

Looking at going down the 3 inch turbo elbow route for starters
And bought a smoke tester machine as think I've got a few air leaks so that's the next job

What smoke tester you got ?
Mike is right built right there hassle free
Only thing I never got away with was stainless manifold and I did brace mine but maybe not enough good standard ported is enough for me

Do they still give you the 90s turbo lag?
I don't like modern turbo's. I prefer the lag and drama.
If I wanted to negate it, I'd use anti lag on a switch.

I'll post pics of smoke tester Johnny once it comes, can't remember name of it

Turbo will have to wait, gonna either get AM performance 2.5 elbow and down pipe or 3 inch elbow, getting a friend of mine to make me an alloy induction pipe same size as turbo inlet probably 4 inch or summit near

I'd love an ecu with antilag but I'll just have to stick with my nistune for now

Just made myself a 3 inch intake pipe with all the take offs and then powder coated it wrinkle finish black so it looks like standard as I don't like all the blingy bits under bonnet.

Sounds good you got a pic?

You willing to sell and make yourself another one lol

I'll try and get a pic, over the next few days, and no I'm not selling as it took me bloody ages to get it all to fit nice. Lol

Each to their own I guess... I can't stand laggy turbos on street cars... loads of nothing then you hit 5k rpm 2 seconds of fun and you need to brake for traffic lights or something.... Oh and antilag on gtir is not rly that easy... It's very hard to bypass 4 throttles with enough air that leaves you throttle kicker ( no idea what to use for that) or secondary air injection... I'm working on doing sai using evo valve just can't get on with doing pipes to it and moding exhaust mani

Tom I'm in a process of kicking my mates ass to finally get on with making 3 inch split elbow and downpipe (similar to am performance)... once he'll make 1st one I know price etc...

And is it me or actually didn't say what sort of power goal you've got in mind?
