Turbo Arrives

[Adie]

Just got home after a loooooong day of waiting.

I've only had a little drive around London and the M25 and M1 so i cant yet give a full review on it yet.

But the turbo is **** AMAZING. The car seems very rapid and the handling is also wicked with the TTE coilovers and the TTE ant roll bars. Braking is also much better with the braided lines and greenstuff pads.

Daves guy first took me for a little spin around somepart of London to show me just how good the turbo conversion is. He was flooring it around roundabouts, in and out of traffic and left my mate in his Supra for dead. A few times i thought we're going to crash or i'm going to soil myself. :P

The install looks top notch,very tidy and the new air intakes look wicked. The turbo seems much better than the s/c and a lot more fun.

The sound when the turbo spins up is great as is the sound of the BOV when you ease off the accelerator.

The main cat has also been taken off at the moment so i shall replace it with my standard cat for mot (next week) and then probably fit a performance cat. The exhaust is louder with no cats fitted but does sound good.

I've got a few jobs still to do to it, but so far so good. I think thats about everything for now. I'll give another review on it after i've had a proper play. :D

[Anees]

Congratulations! :D

Best things come to those who wait! :D :D

[aido]

and there is no better sound than hearing that BOV  :D

Dunno about that mate, the SC with TDI induction makes a mental noise at gear change time that makes a BOV sound like a quiet fart :P

Good to hear she's back Adie, sounds like the car is much better now :D

Pics

Just a little more power than you had before :winky:

[Dave-Ellen]

Pleased you like it :winky:

Sorry for the delay but Mr tech is a perfectionist !

Will let you know when the stuff is here

[DAZA_W]

great news glad your pleased with the turbo

[Gord]

Nice one mate :winky: can i have that drive now :D

[gsportcars]

Sounds good man.

What boost are you running and what power are you getting from it?

Mine should be ready in the next few days as we had a little delay with the lower crank sensor but a bit of sneaky modification is sorting out that problem :D

[Mr Morse]

Looking very good Adie - looks like you have bags of power low down the way you just shot away from that slip road!

Sounds very nice and refined too! :D

[MrADeveci]

Sorry for the delay but Mr tech is a perfectionist !

I must say ............ today I installed the Ipod unit, hard wired the Road Angel, and the new Screen in for Adie ..............

I was looking at the wiring behind the head unit, and steering column that runs into the Greddy timer ........... very proffesional wiring .... if I must say so my self ;) B)

[Adie]

Right then update... :D

After having a play in it on the motorway and around Watford, the turbo conversion is even better than yesterday.

The car pulls away excellently all through the gears. It reaches max boost of .55 very quickly. Making acceleration excellent. Pulling away in 5th and 6th is also great. I can get the mph up quite high in the lower gears, although i've not yet tried to see exactly what i can get.

With the rollbars, coilovers and uprated breaking it definately gives more confidence to be more heavy footed

Driving through Northampton on the way home the BOV definately gets the heads turning :D

@ Marcus get yourself some antiroll bars and get that clutch fitted mate :D

@ Gord anytime mate, if you're at the Nots meet :winky:

@ Dave on the stuff, cant wait mate :winky:
