Anyone else enjoying the wet weather and boost? Lack of abs and (no offense) crap perth drivers makes for interesting driving.......


My ute held 10psi all the way home from work... But never broke traction ;)

My car is factory but the previous owner decided cheap tyres were the best way forward lol

Mine has Michelin pilot sport 3, not much gets a spin to happen (could be the only 215 rwhp)and it has abs slotted rotors and coilovers so it handles very well emoji6.png

Factory fit bmw m cars, gd tyres!!

Depends on your torque curve. My turbo is very linear and power is smooth as boost builds giving 400@wheels and no slip.

The next model down makes 380ish but torque doubles over a 300rpm window making it prone to tyre frying

Just about to go to bed last night and the missus opened the garage

Bloody thing failed in a big way. Bent rails n wheels, spring loaded cable jumped off sprocket and it's jammed half way up. Was up til midnight but still couldn't get it down :(

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
