Eheh thanks for that :). Can they be painted? I was wondering how much do they retail for second hand? Im gonna keep them but im curious how much the old owner bought them for lol

Secondhand prices can have a wide range. They are desirable, but you need to strike the right person at the right time. And it also depends on what brand of car it suits, so you can advertise it on their respective forums.

For instance, I have Advan RG I rims and if wanted to sell them, I'd be advised to sell them here, on Honda and Mazda forums too.

Super Advan V2 came out with spokes of 6 different colours + polished rims > so yes, they can be painted or powdercoated.

Welcome :)

nice colour! Certainly don't see many of them around. My advice would be.. sell your bodykit, and put the proceeds towards something else. Maybe get a series 2 wing (not a fan of the s1 wing). I'd also look at getting the tune looked at, if you say it hasn't been on the dyno since the turbo went on.

Enjoy

Ya its at the mechanic atm ill get him to give it a good tune it was knocking over 60+ in 5th gear at 90 - 120 on the m5 so might have that looked at. The previous guy ran the dyno tune to make it run a lil lean...

In terms of the bodykit why do you say it?

And thanks Miss r34 :) your thread was a heap of lolz i must thank you :) eheh

You're welcome Mr. Sid ;)

Just not a huge fan of them, i guess if you have monster wide rims and want a show car look then maybe. It's hard to pull off a big kit, you have to have everything done right. I prefer lowered on factory kit, think it looks much neater.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
