What's the paint code of the Roja red paint? Any chance you could take a look for me?

I think the paint codes are the same for flash red and roja red Joe, just the irish stealers quote it as Roja..... wierd.

whats the code on yours?

You have your turbo clocked completely differently to mine :O how odd - pipework looks a lot harder to route your way :(. Still looks mint and I love it :)

Jonny - what wheels have you got there and are they 17's? Looking at something similar as I'm scraping everywhere! :(

Looking at it now Joe,


hmmmm
might see if I can clock it towards the rocker cover and get rid of that elbow.

good point.

the wheels are team dynamics 17's whcih do scrub like fook :) were all in the same boat there!

Bugger! I was looking at 17's because the floor plan of the car is too low too the floor - but I'm worries that raising it will spoil my handling/ looks :(. Need something which will fit over Brembo's too.

WOW! AWESOME car there bud! Really wish we got that model here in South Africa! Not sure if you have answered this but how does the Gt28 treat you as a daily driver? I have heard guys tend to go ko4 because it is more driveable than the the GT28 seeing that the Gt28 makes power higher up the rev range

Hey Demon, thanks for the comment

Everyone will have story as to why thier turbo suites them better than anyone elses. from my point of view,

I do 600 miles a week, mostly city and motorway (38mpg avg), rarely need the turbo on the motorway unless I am intentionally booting it (in that case id knock back to 3rd anyways). city driving, stay downa a gear if you want power, simple as for me. I can see people enjoy having the boost kick in early but I personally hate cars where you feel the power run out like a diesel.

simply put, i like it and i can make it work for me. on short, twisty country roads I rather my gf's 16v. but if there is any straights etc give me the turbo!

That is an awesome way to look at it bro! I had the same thought, I'm more into straight line stuff rather than going crazy on windy roads. Where does yoru power start and end? What sort of power do you make? What does boost go to and what does it hold? Sorry for all the questions.

its not mapped yet man so dont have many of the answers,

it was running 17psi but will be hoping to run allot more than that now.

maybe 350bhp? depends on the rollers it ends up on really!

The turbo is pulling well from 3500 onwards but at 4k its at 17psi.
