After a Painful and Pleasurable couple of hours reading the build, I'd have to say this is a work of art with craftmanship and care i haven't seen before.

Hope the best for your next stage :)
and keep me posted

Rightio. I had the pleasure of going for a little squirt yesterday in the absolutely epic car. It wasn't a long drive, it was enough to get the feel for the OS88 in it. Absolutely sold. Definitely not as "agricultural" as what I would have imagined.

The first thing that struck me was how quiet and tame it is while idling. No "grump grump, lots of overlap, big cam crap" going on, just a smooth as factory idle. The noise that was coming out of the exhaust wasn't that much louder than a factory car also. Pulls well from down low but you can tell its just screaming to be wound up. 15 psi, its not even trying.

The level of detail is second to none, anyone that has looked over this car would attest to that.

Thanks again for your time Bob, you didn't have to do that. You have just spent $16,000 or so of my money. :P

Hi Bobby, enjoying the thread, tech goes over my head but all good.

Have you had the final tune yet, love to see the results and hope you get what you were after. Looks great :wub:

I am going for response and would be pissed if my build takes 3 months, buy the parts and have someone stuff it under the bonnet and hope for the best :yes: But nothing like the effort you have put into this car :woot:

You can sell it now and start all over again,haha :action-smiley-069:

Finally made the time to read every page of this thread thanks to G20 long weekend.

Bobby I am probably not alone in saying it would be really appreciated if you could close this build thread out with an update on how everything turned out.

Thats way it is available outside of your Facebook page and easier for people to search/find.

Thanks in advance

    • 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.
