yeah man it sucks but the police are no involved so hopefully they get the f**ker. So looks like I wont be doing the 42r setup on the car as the manifold and gate where the last things in needed. Looking at putting standard twins on the car now to get it going :/

natett: just means more money that I now have to find to fork out. Ill see what happens im in no rush atm as I was looking at getting the car up and running by chrissy. I was looking at buy a 6boost mani and gate off another forum member but after what ive just been through I dont think I could waste that much money again :laugh:

The Quick spool valve goes between the turbo and manifold.

A valve closes on side of the manifold so the turbo spools up quicker, once boost gets into positive pressure the valve opens allowing full potential of the turbo.

Basically you can make 800rwhp and have it on full boost by 4000rpm :(

a lot of the supra guys in the US have used them. and the mega dollar supra build on here has 2.

they seem to show some impressive gains through the mid range however there isnt much info on them being used daily etc

when i go 3.4 ill be using one but thats another 12 months away haha

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
