actually the auto does work really well. at least without a load behind. hope it holds up ok.

doesnt come off boost so much. the hill up to my house on one approach is very steep. previously almost came to a stop. now it just keeps pulling all the way

haha, you bet

havent done any off road driving so keen to give it a go sometime for sure.

when you're ready mate ...we'll take it moderately easy but challenging to start off with to get the confidence up....and go from there.

am in south brissy. plenty of guys around here that can pull us out if stuck :)

hey mate any more updates?

fuel economy observations?

temps? etc

fuel economy is not surprisingly poor. 22L/100km around town 50% and highway 50%

update on how it drives - fantastic. power delivery is smooth and acceleration anytime is awesome.

no towing yet but just took delivery of trailer so will update more at end of April after a few trips to the track

    • 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
