Such good value when on special. Basically an easy 500hp with mad spool. 1

Probably essential.* Clutch upgrade.* Intercooler might - not sure if it's essential or just very helpful. I grew tired of hot weather power drop-off.* Exhaust and cat upgrade.* Fuel pump upgrade - you might find this is essential.Guys - you can see my use of the words "probably" and "maybe". Let's know what's essential when fitting a GTX3576 turbo centre.Lennox - Í could have saved a couple of thousand by getting the turbo upgrade and intercooler done the first time. The lack of puff over 5500rpm and the hot weather drop-off have always bothered me but I thought a cat upgrade and bigger injectors would keep me happy. Biting the bullet and getting it all done once means you will save the cost of the 2 or 3 tunes before you decide to go for the turbo and intercooler upgrade. Yes this turbo from MTQ comes with a new inlet housing that requires an adaptor to fit it onto the Process West intercooler. I'd contemplated having a go at fitting it myself. Glad I didn't when I saw the work that Autotech guys did. PAH Edited 19/09/14 04:21 AM by PAH 1
