Title: Top Marks to RE:Worx
Post by: strange_days_uk on February 03, 2006, 04:13:37 PM
Spent Tuesday there getting my knackered turbo pack removed and newly rebuilt one fitted.  New discs and pads all round also, (Chris Rance slaving away very tirelessly) )and then mapping the Apexi.

Very happy with 290.3 at the wheels, (at 45 degress intake temp) and we maxxed out the injectors at around 6k, so next trip is to get bigger primaries fitted at some point for the final map.

As far as I know no porting has been done on the engine, though the compression readings were very good a month back so think it was rebuilt not long ago..

The car feels like a different beast now  :3gears-rh

290 RWHP with more to come.    :Thumbsup!
Mind me asking how much did the turbo pack set you back?

 :cheers

No no no ..........
Not playing any games.  
I meant how much REworx charged you for swapping turbos.   ;)  
Wouldnt mind a set of new/rebuilt turbos though, must boost much better.   :Thumbs-up

Yeah I was only kidding.

Geoff charged me 6 hours labour @ £45, that also included replacing discs and pads, also about an extra ton for some jubilee clips, blanking kit and a hose or two.  Add VAT of course..

Hope that helps.  Best to speak to Geoff though for more detail..

It\'s not mate. I bottled it and have since sold the car. I\'ve decided to take a break from performance cars for a while...
