Who is running a T51--List here.

It\'s just sooooooooooooooo cool isn\'t it mate.:Thumbs-up

Yep the HKS version of the T51R is a very good design, I weighed it up against a normal Garrett T51R and a GT42.
Pros for HKS is the fluted undivided rear exhaust housing giving less back pressure then a divided housing as it technically is a bigger AR then the normal T4 divided footprint.
The exhaust housing is really bl**dy light, its actually much lighter then the T04Z I had.
The manifold is short runner which is technically is a better design for a rotary turbo so will give better turbo response.
Tial have started to produce HKS V band style rear light exhaust housings for GT42s as they recognise it as a better design.
The most important Pro is the unique noise only found on the HKS T51

i love my HKS T51 KAI, the whistling as it build boost is outstanding and i swear i dont get much more lag as i did on my T04R

The fun bit is when you do Track days, people can hear you coming for ages as the Turbo drowns out any exhaust note....just like a jet fighter coming in to do an attack run. :Laugh:Laugh:Laugh:Laugh:Laugh:evillaugh

What...?

I run on Silverstone with no probs at all, just pick tracks that do a noisey day. Lots of cars put out far more db\'s than my FD.
