A lot of the time was spent putting in the new hot side pipe, PIA getting all of the alignments rights.Running around at moment on stock tune, next step will be flash, injectors, and valve springs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is now running 271rwkw @ 12psi. Getting used to the 4 speed, 1st gear is friggin long lol, this is compared to the 6 speed ZF in the phoon. Anyhow, wife is very happy and starting to give a few a people a surprise off the lights. Next step, brakes and suspension..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to surprise a few people myself, wife seems to be getting all the fun at the moment.ImpellorSorry mate, didn't end up doing a before tune run, really wanted to just to see how well the kit worked. The tuner seemed happy enough with the kit, he has no problem telling me when he thinks something is crap. Going by the internal butt dyno, I'm guessing around 20-30kw before the tune? It seemed to have a bit more go on full noise but the biggest noticeable difference was with partial throttle openings. Here it became a different car, heaps more responsive and a lot more power for the same amount of throttle compared to the stock gear. But once it was tuned, completely different car again with a lot more power everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I would have bought a T in a wagon if available.I must say this is now worthy of an XR6 front bar and lights with the turbo badge on the back. From sleeper to head turner, Cheers mate well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me ages of stuffing around just to get one of the monza ones on my wagon. They are a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
