You must be doing it wrong ................

[wazpaz]

throttle bodies and a turbo!! You are crazy deek

[deek]

will get them re done the cheers that pic looks much better can you do the rest for me?

not sure the bodies will make any difference power wise but thought y not its a bit different

[deek]

the turbo i got from the us a few months ago

the manifold i also got from the us the other week,iv just got to have the flanges modded and an external wastegate mount fitted,it looks like im gona have trouble with clearance as the compresor housing is so big

If i can get a GT30 in the front of a nova then you can get it in the front of a vectra easily!

[deek]

its not room in the bay im worried about its how close to the block the compresor housing will be

sorted pics now hope its better

That will be fine. Its on the same manifold as i have but with a smaller housing iirc.

[deek]

thats good then,should have plenty of room between turbo and rad also which will be good

[CraigGreen]

Adding a greater spec to an already fine car. COOL!

Liking the manifold & turbo + the management etc. This should be pretty damn quick when done I imagine?

[deek]

i hope so, it wernt slow b4 doin pod in 13.7@107mph but hoping for a bit more now but i just want it back on the road now,bored of the gutless 2.6

[deek]
