Sorted myself one of these so was wondering what the general consensus was. What sort of power? Lag? Opinions please :chat

Not been in Max\'s. It will be on a standard port to start with. Am I right in assuming the piping for my Blitz FMIC will have to be modded?

When l had my had my GT35 fitted I had like NO lag with full boost every time l went near the throttle for real and the car was also totaly predictable to drive :D, obviously some of it was the way the car was mapped.
Yes the "R" is a little larger but l would not have thought it would make a decernable difference.

Hope this helps.

Ditto Max\'s comment,
Except mines all road and no track!! :p
Advice: replace the standard 3 bolt turbo to downpipe connection with a V-band..a bit of extra work, but well worth it ;)

Ah! Forgot that bit - mine was a 4-bolt. It kept warping till I put V-Band on it.

Of course, it\'s 4 bolt-sorry! :spank
As we say, get it done whilst having the turbo installed- easier for you and the mechanics! :evillaugh

Initially i had a v-band on it, but it leaked exhaust gas from one side
so i went back to the four bolt flang to flange gasketless and it has been perfect since.
V-bands do have a tendancy to leak.
