I feel they could be suspect... http://turbomaxservice.co.uk

They're new kids on the block, that's for certain.

What do you think it would cost to get a set of tubro headers/ turbo manifold or what ever you call it made up?

 

[camo.b]

Not sure mate.i normally do that kind of work on my cars.ive seen ebay ones for around the $300 mark for a similar 4cyl.full asian jobs tho.id say thin and prone to cracking.im thinking a adapter flange for now anyway or just weld and redrill mine.

I might have one on the way soon gunning1987....possible water/meth kit and intercooler water sprayer..just working out which ones...so many choices.

 

[andrew0]

Have you already upgraded your intercooler and exhaust? I'm keen to explore some new turbos setups next year.

Zorst is a fill 3'straight thru.and the cooler ive been checking over the past few weeks..for a stock cooler its maintaining a 20-30°c limit above ambient temp on a mid 30s day.unless i blow it apart ill keep it and just strap on a extra water sprayer...those temps are on a sprirted run too.

 

[camo.b]

That is untill i find some new cooler specs that will get my outlet temps lower that what im getting now.must reread dilmah's water to air cooler findings again

GTB2260VK turbs is ordered..cant wait for the modding to begin.
