Love your work mate. Definately got me thinking about doing something similar on my wagon, perhaps even a remote mount. I'm not after anything crazy, just a nice torquey upgrade that will give me 220rwkws or similar. Keeps us updated on your progress.

Thnx mate, its going in the right direction power wise the thing that made the biggest difference with the turbo was the smaller turbine housing.

When you eventually get to doing this search on corral forums and the turbo forums as i went in blind and had to change somethings that didnt work as well as it could have.

Btw your car sounds very nice with that e303, i might be looking for one soon as my car sounds too stock.

yeah its been awhile hey.

Finally painted the bar in E9 everglade and it turned out real good for just a can of paint but because i didnt get around to clear coating it or putting more coats on the paint has come off from little stones flicking off the road so that needs too be fixed.

Installed 1.7 roller rockers and fitted 42lb injectors and c&l maf housing, basically ive put the 24lb injectors in and the std maf as it needs a tune to run those injectors plain and simple.

Ive beaten a few more cars lol and it surprised even me, a baxr8 with cai system from ss inductions including t/b, 4into 1 extractors and a flash tune.

No joke i pull away in roll ons makes me laugh like a spastic, not much else has happened just been logging i/c temps and adjusting boost controller.

Im going to sell my 42lb injectors too so if anyone is after a set of 8 $350 brand new they were on the car for only a week, they were imported from the states with the maf but that garbage is getting melted into a lamp post.

I have some very sad news about my son Brad (RAPTOR_XR8), Brad became ill just before the new year, he was told by his gp that he had a virus that has been going around. About three weeks ago he was admitted to Liverpool hospital with heart failure.

Brad was transfered to St Vincents hospital on Monday and is being prepared for a possible transplant, Brad asked me to explain to the people he met on this forum and too those he met at the Liverpool meets about his absence.

Glenn.

Man that sucks balls, My mate was just released from Hospital yesterday, went in with similar symptoms, ended up with failed kidney and liver function, he is on the mend now though.

Brad, get well quickly mate.
