Yes thats me, had my own shop for 6 years or so now. I used the billetbitz name to sell some parts for a while.
This is my main business Millturn CNC (http://www.millturncnc.com)

That is not my game, a fabrication shop is what you need.
Had a run out, a MKII may be on order to reduce vent gap between blades. It pulls boost fine, but so much noise it will soon get annoying.
I am not an expert on turbo compressor maps, I just tried this as an experiment. Each turbo is different, but modding T04Z will be easy enough. Would need to make sure just buying replacement compressor housing was an option in case of a F*!k up.
sounds pretty cool.... like a jet :D
Agreed Kev, thats going to get ****ing annoying!
very annoying!!!!....nice in small doses though
Very nice piece of work, but sounds like an air raid siren (or the start of a Red Lorry Yellow Lorry gig, for the ageing Goths in the audience! :Giggle). I think that would probably drive you mad before too long. Shame, looks excellent!
can you make another one of these shrouds?
Anyone know how to contact fd3uk - Kevin . Tried to send a pm but unable to to him.
He\'s not been around for a few years now mate. Someone might know his where about though. He did do some lovely work. I\'ve got one of his fuel rails. He called his company at the time Billet Blitz
