i'd hope so given one the technological advancements in the last 17 years! haha

Only thing that put me off the GT was the interior was nowhere near the standard of the price tag, i know the engine etc is first rate but its about the whole package for me. Even HSV have grasped that given the level of there interiors is far superior to fpvs.

i personallly thing that was what held it back in terms of sales.

Yeah the interior is from 2008 (FG) though you have to remember, in terms of price can't have it all for that price :P

Performance is insane though for the GS price, to get something else with comparable power new would need to spend a pretty penny. /fordlineaustralia

Hows your new beast going anyway man? Gotta love dat dere new car smell.

No one can complain about expensive cars with bad interiors until you've driven a lotus lol

Speaking of illegal things out of the factory... theres just so many. licence plates off centre at the front of the car, fixed-back seats, the number of clicks on handbrake, exhaust noise levels (Maserati first to come to mind)

86 interior is pretty cool; buttons in all the right places...you feel at home in 2 minutes. Surprisingly comfortable for such a small car, and to accommodate 6'3 with room to boot.

    • 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
