    Default One for the sceptics: Updated 25 Oct

    As some people have doubted me and my turbo upgrade, here is the proof. Sorry for the let down.

    A std MPS turbo vs the new turbo (Garrett GT28/76r)



    A basic layout of things to come





    I will get some more pics up as things develop, like battery relocation to the rear, larger FMIC fitment and piping etc. New turbo manifold and exhaust, which will all have to be HPC coated (and wrapped too I think)

    I like my neat engine bay the boys at Allstar Tuning want to put a bigger turbo in for me if it's going to throw everything out of wack ,I might give it a miss unless they can do what I was going to do with the HSV and put it under the car and shield it and that get's rid of the heat as well?????
