have been trolling websites and forums for the last 2 weeks looking for info on what kind of turbo i want and asking loads of people questions, just as i had my mind set on the kit is was gonna go for, this popped up on gumtree, i was skeptical because of how cheap it was and shite info with the for sale ad and only a pic of the box, but i said there is no harm in giving the guy a call..
after speaking to him for a few minutes it was clear he didnt really know what he had, but told me his brother bought the kit for the states over a year ago, but his bro emigrated before it got here and this big box had just been taking up room in his house...
so i took the chance and asked him to remove the ad and i went up to collect it the following day.
everything was still in the box never opened, i asked if i could have a quick look inside, finally got it open and i nearly pissed myself with excitement, seen the t28, brand new and shiney, lovely looking inter-cooler, loads of hard pipes and hoses, braided lines, decent hose clips, nuts bolts etc, so i handed over the small fee and drove home happy.
when i got home i opened everything properly but quickly noticed the manifold is wrong, after a bit of looking we noticed it is a 1.8 mani.. a little annoyed but couldnt complain as i have gotten all these bits at a quarter of the price i was going to be paying, so ill buy an exhaust manifold off cxracing next week and hopfully be back on track
here is a few pics, doesnt show all of the bits but you get an idea
Looks great man! What are you going to do for an ecu? Ms2 pnp or greddy piggyback?
yeah the ms2 pnp, rx8 injectors and a 4 puk paddle clutch will be ordered on friday
Looking forward to it all now
