how are they niceer tho?

this is a question your tuner should be able to answer rather nicely.

electronic boost controllers have been proven time and time again at being better at managing boost curves than bleed valves.

that being said, the turbotech manual boost controller has received a lot of praise from a shit load of people for its ability to maintain boost. i think because unlike a bleed valve, it doesnt allow air to bleed slowly to the wastegate (hence its name, "bleed valve") which can cause spiking, but snaps open and allows all the air to hit the wastegate at once when it reaches the pressure you set it at.

in short, get an ebc.

adrian, google -> careerone -> criteria: apprentice, paint.

Cara, I highly suggest speaking to a TUNER, someone who is in the know, not "someone told me this, someone told me that" That way they can sit you down, let you know what you need and why, then you can go from there with the confidence you're doing things right

Steve, very nice, I'd like one of them in my car!

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
