You don't want it.

Turbo stall is bad for the turbo and increases lag dramatically.

Granted it is bad for the turbo.

But how would it increase lag?

It's turbo stall.

Basically when you lift off the throttle after being on boost it traps the pressure between the throttle body butterfly and the turbo. The pressure causes the turbo to slow down which is the noise you hear.

Here endith my lesson

I love being offshore

nice few bits and bobs there.

I have now started getting the bits I buy delivered to my mates garage so she doesn't know

only one part i would like to buy from you m8 and you shall have a goat about that

I touch goats but due to popular demand I have none left

i'm sure you could have just sold him a car mate never mind bits

Na mate the cars are all mine just a couple spare parts

Looks good craig and in the best colour

Whats the mileage? If you need any bits give me a shout

V4 type-r is what that is Can tell by poistion of coil pack amongst other things

Like the HKS dump valve as well

thats probably no bad thing Andy ;)think i may have had a touch of the old red mist at that point.....

What is it with you and bikers?

Looks like I missed a good laugh and superb weather.

Had a superb time in Portugal golfing and even had a hole in 1

Enjoy folks I will have a car ready for next year.

I try not to get to much of a tan in Portugal

Get one without vent looks great

Just sit 2 feet from a lorry or big van as you go past the cameras works every time

Yes second for AS performance will probably price match if your nice

Not with a complete tool at the wheel it wouldn't. Thats the only place a classic is better than a newage, the track so unless you use your car for this the newage is better

Your classic would get beaten by a Toyota IQ just now lol

It would indeed.

All I am going to say is do it right do it once

It will be worth the wait.

Mine is very track orientated but still road legal

you so sure about that ???

With the same bhp yes classics are faster. I would also go as far to say around knockhill a 450 classic would beat a new age of any bhp

Dvla strike again

That took longer than I thought

Look forward to seeing what you buy.

Classics rule anything newer is shaft and slow

But hope to be worth it when it comes together mate.

Still running the front turbo but with a bigger exh housing

How's yours ciaran?

Engine and box are going for a re-furb next month and then have to put it back together with the new turbo and then decide what colour?

Graham loving the colour.

Probably before mines Chris

That not exactly hard is it Peter

indeed the amount of times i forget that this is the case and have to brave it up till the next shell station

What are you getting done to it now? Wideboy?

Good luck with the build I hope to see it in 2012 please ha ..

You will no saying when though

You should manage a 10 with 700bhp

Good luck with it all look forward to the pics.

Have to say going down hill towards the hair pin at knockhill is a scary thought though

wow, thread resurrection!!!

so whats been happening to the golf then? and have you still got the same one? that must be almost a year, surely a record for you Ciaran???

Yes same mk5 gti and yes a year is a record. Has to be the best all round everyday car I have had. Just a set of 18" BBS wheels, few handling mods and were remap coming up shortly.

Aim is to have the impreza going at high 400s by the end of the year

Once again good luck in getting it on road this year mate

Don't need luck just lots of hard work

So I guess we'll not be seeing it at any meets in the near future?

Pretty much just the pimped out golf

Okay finally a plan. Engine is coming out next month for a refresh, the PPG is getting built into an r180 DCCD

Then I only have to

Remove engine and box

Install engine and swap drivetrain out for complete r180

Install the cage and door bars

Install fuel set up

Install firewall

Install reversed inlet manifold and modify pipe work

Install new turbo which will be SC46

Buy syvecs

Get the cat MOT'd

Get new rotors and pads for the AP's

Install rear brembos

Assist in the painting of the car (thankfully this is already paid for) in memory

of the RB5 the car will be going steel blue (rb5 grey)

Other thing I have to do is work to raise the money to pay for all this

Will be looking to mount my fuel cell as low down as possible.

Problem is the Anti roll bar is in the way. I was wondering is it possible to have custom anti roll bars

Made?
