RobDon's Leon -

That will be decent Rob - I seem to remember reading somewhere that the characteristics and flow of this turbo is similar to that of the K04 turbo on the TFSi. Should make for a fun/fast transformation to your car

Should be yes, aiming to go from around 320bhp to 360+bhp. I've emailed David Manson about mapping it, no reply yet but hopefully he will be able to do it.

I will miss the hybrid GT2X, been an excellent turbo, but it's pretty much maxxed out now, so time to move onto a larger ball-bearing turbo!

He's in Le Mans just now, also he's slipped a disc in his back so not as mobile as he was

 

[RobDon]

Ah ok, thanks Willie. Hopefully he'll be able to do it.

You'll love the howl from the BB turbo when its on full pelt, sounds amazing!!

And the .63 will give you a much more useable shove than a .86, cracking choice

 

[RobDon]

Looking forward to it yes!

I finally got the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 (to give them their full name!) tyres fitted today. Too early to give any feedback, but will update once they're scrubbed in. But the sidewalls are much, much stiffer than the Falkens, they are smooth and quiet too.

I asked Willie (my tyre guy) if they had stiff sidewalls and he gave me this look and said "they were a bugger to get onto the rims"! So I guess they have stiff sidewalls then - lol!

 

[Murdered LCR]

You change your tyres more times than I change my pants

 

[RobDon]

Do you change your pants once every 3 years like?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Haha you had the ultra verssssadans some thing like that then swear you just had another set and changed to these lol ,

 

[RobDon]

The Advan's are the only tyres I've had fitted since the Falkens were put on years ago! I was going to try other tyres but never actually did.

 

[brightsideteeem]

Lol cant be as bad as 3153520 runflats. Now they're a bar-steward to fit.

 

[RobDon]

Lol yeah, must be like steel bands!

Here's a quick pic of the AD08's now fitted. The sidewalls are very flat.

 

[greesha]

They look amazing

 

[brightsideteeem]

they do look good and sticky too by whats on them already lol.

Do a detailed write up if you can, would come in handy in work, and your quite good at them lol

 

[RobDon]

I will do a full review of them yes.

New injectors have arrived from USRT in the states, Genesis 550cc injectors with plug'n'play adapters, £280 including shipping, VAT and import duty. Very good price compared to what UK tuners sell them for.

Purchased directly from here: http://www.usrallyteam.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_44&products_id=100

Lots more juicy parts arriving over the next couple of weeks.

Whats the UK price equivalent Rob?

I dont understand the continuity of the UK market if the exact same quality parts can be bought for a lot cheaper overseas than in the UK

bran new, but selling second hand. Therefore not an equal comparison

Robs comparison is buying from an online or store vendor as "new"
