return flow coolers can support 300

the turbo could be getting choked though if it's in a stock housing... Ric's, old hypergear did this before he replaced it with a garrett... i'd have a good look at this

could also be your china wheels or massive gayness

Wouldn't buy any car from Tassie after knowing what panelshops would do and send down there and the dealers would sell

Going through it now with Maggie, so far no issues. However it's a long drawn out process now, about 3 years

@Plattsy

Mate of mine is going through a super hard time for his PR currently and he is from the UK as well

yea its shocking isnt it!

made a point of speaking to my non australian immigration officer (!) that i was guaranteed acceptance on a last remaining relative visa, and simply chose the partner visa because it was cheaper.

tis dog shite.

Seems my engine has a restriction!

Making 260rwkw on E85, only 8rwkw up from my 98 result...albeit with good gains down low and in the midrange. So something is choking it up top. RP and I suspect it may be the cat converter, so tomorrow it's getting made more "functional" and then retuned.

Could also be return flow cooler. Could also be turbo too small. Could be any of the things that make my car look as stock and legal as possible. Not fussed about top end; I switched to ethanol for the awesome mid range, but would be good to walk away from the exercise with a few more ponies up top if we can sort out the restriction.

What sort of return flow setup you got?

They could of just dropped the exhaust and test if they had time

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
