I've seen it and its really interesting to see the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could fit two volumes of my gate into a 60mm gate. Kinda like when you're jerking off at the zoo and the elephant rolls his dong out...

Slowxr6t Member 515 Member For: 5y 4m 14d Location: New zealand Posted 27/06/22 12:51 AM Share Posted 27/06/22 12:51 AM Was that embarrassing Captain yeanah? @biddie_fiddler if you upgrade you might have to change some pipework, cos they have probably changed dimensions. I unknowingly bought a Chinese turbosmart gen4 45mm knockoff wg. It lasted about 2000km and shat itself. I went to get a new diaphragm kit for it and the local dealer couldn't even tell it was fake until we disassembled it in his shop and found kit wouldn't fit. I bought a new gen5 and dimensions were different and I had to get the grinder and welder out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has definitely been some design revisions over the years that's for sure Edited 27/06/22 12:58 AM by biddie_fiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the job. New smaller ones just easier to package in the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
