Andy Forrest Website

Absolutly fantastic

SOOO much more imformation than any other website. Been having a look at alot of websites for the best part of 6 hrs today (the joys of being the boss i suppose ) just looking to get sum info on the best way to build my new scooby for the track.

Alot of other site just seem to just give a very brief description and hit you with the price. Were as andy go's a little bit further into giving a lot of information were as other site would just get your money and give you nowt for it.

For example

Induction

The power limitation of the original induction system varies throughout the model years. The original air filter is not necessarily the main issue, it is the restrictive resonator unit and number of 90-degree detours the air must take. There are a number of after market air filters/induction kits, which mount the filter off to the side of the radiator under the bonnet. This type of installation “may” be a slight improvement on the original due to the more direct path; however, it is subjected to the hot air circulating under the bonnet. Air density is inversely proportional to temperature i.e. as the air temperature rises the density drops this means there is less air available. In order to achieve the target boost level the turbo must work harder (spin faster). This higher turbo rpm takes more time to achieve increasing turbo lag. It also requires higher exhaust gas pressure. Higher egp has the effect of reducing power output for the same boost level.

Our preferred solution is to ensure a direct cold air feed to the turbo at all times. One of the most effective ways to do this is by mounting the air filter in the void between inner and outer wings. This area is fed with cold air from the front bumper and is isolated from the hot area behind the radiator.

Selection of the correct air filter type is very important as certain models can cause premature mass air flow meter (MAF) failure due to vibration, dust or oil contamination.

I know alot of it is common sense but sum people that are new to turbo's car mite not see that.

All i can say to great website and good to see people like andy forrest giving a little more info out rather than taking your money.

RANT OVER

yup cracking website i agree, kind of written in laymans terms for novices like me

Yeah its a very nice site to use, very informative... but then, as he does not do any of that really (well, not commercially) its a good idea to be giving folk that kind of info, as in the end I suppose its makes his life easier...

Hi Guys, thanks for the comments on the website

It also helps cut down the amount of general emails that come in each day !

cheers
