Frankston has the cheapest in OZ so you'll be able to grab some cheap fuel while you're staying here.

Frankston was bloody cheap when I was down there last time as well...

I'll just chuck an Edit in here while I still can:

Since the weather has started to warm up, under 'normal' driving conditions, it has been a bit better

Mine's more economical when the weather is crap - a week of rain I get almost twice the range than I do when it's dry

don I did show you the way to great economy. blown turbo and wow has my fuel consumption gone down.

Or spit a diff, best way to save on fuel costs!

I am waiting for that tuna bloke down in Mexico to ring me back ( you know I don't have any patients Mick so HURRY UP ) coz I'm thinking that while I'm down there next week, I might get Pit Lane to throw the baby GTX on my car coz I can't stand seeing the box sitting on the table any more. I didn't even last 2 weeks, did I !!!!!

Now as far as I'm aware, the only parts I definately need is a 3" long 4" to 3" joiner and a gasket kit to be able to fit the turbo. I also have to spend all of 10 minutes to drill and tap the front cover for the boost reference nipple. mmmmmmmm.............nipple

The original Actuator Bracket also needs a lil bit of an adjustment apparently but I'll call into MTQ while I'm down in Adelaide tomorrow arvo getting Rab his supply of Chilli Sauce, coz they may have already developed one that works / fits with the Ford rear housing.

I don't want to change anything else on my car ATM so all the mods that have been done -- will be staying ( for the time being hehehe) as I reckon that doing this will give the best comparison between the GT and GTX 76 turbos.

I'm not even going to guess what sort of power difference Mick will see without any other changes...... From all of the reading I have done, I do have a figure in my head for what I think the end result will be once he has thrown more boost into it and retuned it but not gunna say.

--------------------------------

On the other side of this exercize is Bizkets. As you would be aware from reading above, he is also swapping to the GTX3576 coz his original turbo she go clunkity clunk clunk.

The Biz is changing out his PW Stepped intercooler for the 4" light weight Tube & Fin core and real big piping. He is also getting rid of the FG cross-over and going turbo side CAI so it will be interesting to see how much more power that all of these parts ---- that Stigmata fabs up ---- will give.

Check out the difference in the coolers

me thinks you're gunna need a real big hammer to get that sucker to fit Biz.........

That is one big cooler!

How does this even fit up front

Will be following both of these builds with interest :D

Something like this setup?
