Only that you have 50% more cubes than most of the other turbo projects LOL

Can't wait to see some dyno numbers (esp. the phat-ass torque curve!!!)

yes, the dyno will be interesting.driving round is interesting with the lightened crank and flywheel

dont really feel the 'torque kick' but is crying out for upping the rev limit to7k.

i think their just stuck on,not sure.bought the car with kit.might one day bondo the flares into

part of the body,giving a wide body look.

yep, go get 'em.no hating here,buy 'em i say.and yes, i can build you something.

Come a long way since I last saw it!

Good stuff Marty

That engine bay looks sweet, interior looks classy aswell.

Very nice job you've done there.

Wheels would probably look best silver IMO

Looks Great Marty

Clean engine bay best thing to see compaired to some of these turbo conversions and all you see under the hood is wires - save us all.

Dyno will be interesting and also a Power to $$ ratio - so us M30 Fans can see what sort of power we are putting out for price compaired to the rest of the world

bit off topic but when ever us NZ'ers show up in overseas forums with our turbo's etc people think we are nuts spending nothing and getting heaps of power

Besides the ammount to substances we take while modifing our cars
