Had a mini cruise with Troy this morning.

Aww yeah. Man your car does sound super nice. Touch loud (probably to the public, that is. f**k 'em lol), but great note. Different to what I'm used to hearing from a GT-R :D

Thanks Troy.

It is funny because I have no idea how my car sounds, the note, how loud it is etc. I am always driving it and have never heard it with someone else driving it.

I didn't realise it was that loud! LOL

He DOESN'T want his car to hit a roo.

BUT THAT'S MY SPECIALTY!!!!

haha in my defence, I've dodged many roos that I should've hit - just missed a big f**ker on Athllon not 5 minutes before I hit his smaller buddy :( also I was specifically not paying attention to my surroundings when I hit this one. Was on a completely deserted (NON-SUBURBAN) backstreet observing gauges as I floored it checking for any abnormalities....obviously I don't drive around on the roads with my eyes glued to the instrument panel while I boot it hahaha

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
