Finished, Sort Of*

[_Ryan_]

lining up a garrett m24 ec-2 3076 GT30, a/r.48 ex.82 56trim 4-bolt exhaust

external-wastegate setup tho. hmmmm.

if you want external gate a mate would prolly sell his setup with 6-boost mani

[unique1]

Brendan u can get an internal gate version, CUBES is running one on his 25/30 setup and it bolts straight onto the stock manifold as well, saves money on manifold and wastegate too.

[wolverine]

CRD have a some sort of 'new' GT30 turbine cover. whether it is a VG/OP6 housing or some new casting isn't clear but worth keeping an eye out since they will be posting some details in the next week or so.

andrew @ CRD would be worth asking before committing to an externally gated turbo which will have a number of extra costs to get up and running. check the CRD trader adverts here.

well had the stagea retuned today

pulling the 200kw mark now at 13.5psi

best tune by Boostworx tho, golden. feels fantastic on the road whether its on or off boost

[_Ryan_]

good news!

still going to change turbo?

[Tangles]

yes for sure

waiting upon 07 tax cheque return, then will order a GT2871r 450hp garrett-bb turbo from Hypergear, including lines etc, bolt-on.

will do the mirror rust fixup, and perhaps black pearl paint to the roof, bonnet and mirrors

then a rechip ecu map over a 4wd dyno from jeff at The SpeedLab, retuned for the better turbo & current set-up

black roof=warm interior

[M I K E]

i've done a few chops of stags with black tops and they don't look so fantastic, may look better in real lide though - even better with limo tint

[GoldZilla]

Could this mean, Brendo, that you will own our first Panda-spec Stagea? i wonder what it would look like.

i have seen two with black bonnets on the roads, plus i think Fuzzy's old one was black bonnet too?

Any reason why you're not running more boost (e.g. 16psi)?

[Tangles]

on the road Ive upped it to 1bar

at around xxxkmph it starts tappering off boost on road, tappers down 1andabit psi to 13.5

got to cut the fmic lead pipes out of the fmic and redo a pipe, then should be ok - apparently

[M I K E]

couple quickies for ya dude

and without the bonnet (much better IMO)

[_Ryan_]

dont do either IMO, YUK

also, i wouldnt do it simply for the heat factor!

[Tangles]

thanks mike. appreciated

ryan I agree

roof - I wouldnt do the white stripe on the outside of the rail racks, up the windscreen along & down back. but yeah, NO not good

bonnet - can I have a photo shop please of bonnet only in a shiney black ? if possible? please?

cheers

yeah, at this stage Um no, just rust fix and fixing body-touchups

[M I K E]
