Hahaha 13.5k was how much I paid for the car 12months ago....Okay the total cost of the turbo install was 15.5k. Yes, a lot of money, but it was needing the rebuild. The work done on it is very professional, and well worth the money :)

Thats a very neat job, i love it. If only the interior was as clean as your engine bay :D

Interesting BOV setup. Theres some pretty major pipework heading back into the intake. What brand did you go with for the actual BOV?

Looks great Fuzz, as long as you enjoy it and have fun it doesn't matter how much it cost. Now you just need to work on the exterior a bit more and you will have a great car. Was talking to David and Daniel about it the other day...hope you carry a spare pair of undies everywhere you drive!

Very nice! 8)

I don't have any plans to sell my car so I can totally see why you have spent the money. I'd love to do something like that to mine (a long way) down the track, built engine and GT3071R perhaps? :lol:

The BOV piping isnt major...its just a plumb back type....ie required by law. Its a GFB part, but I wasn't fussed on the brand, they all do the same job. As for body work - not for now...I managed to pass a defect station on sunday night without any troubles, so I'm gonna keep it as a sleeper for a while

Oh and as for could of saved money and had an SP, I'd rather my option....although its an older car, its got an LSD, got better suspension, and an engine built to handle the power. I had considered getting an SE and doing a few basic mods to it, but for the same cost, the power wouldn't of been the same...besides, I bought an NA over an NB for the simple reason, of pop-up headlights :P

STOCK B6 and BP can both handle well over what yours is pushing, so when are you winding up the BOOST? :lol: Stop avoiding the question! :P

Oh, that's fair then... The switch in the cabin is a great idea - 8PSI for your gf, and 15PSI for you! 8) :mrgreen: :twisted:
