Hows the fuel efficiency with the blower on? Do you know what you were getting before hand compared to what your getting now? and what kind of driving do you do mostly?

Mate it was amazing!!
At 1/4 throttle it takes off like a jet, and fuel wise, it was much cheaper to run.....
I drive normally Mornington to Dandy and back, and I noticed a tank was lasting an extra day instanly!!
Since then, I only drive it once in a blue moon, I bought a Patrol as a daily :)

It's amazing when you don't drive it everyday, you realise just how much of a weapon it is...lol....
I actually have a guy enquiring at the moment, he is pretty keen, and the price tag is 25k, so I may be letting it go :-(

Honestly, i thought it was a load of crap, but I did notice it was better on fuel straight away, BUT!!!!
If you open up those 90lb injectors, you can watch the fuel gauge drop!!

Hi Mate,

It is actually on tonight, but all the filming was scrapped, other than my kit on the bench, Rob talks about the whipple and explains a few things, and the actual one he uses is mine, I was there that day, you see a glimse of my back wheel on the video as he chat's, then sadly for me, a week after mine was done, they did a built stroker VT Berlina, it ended up making 340rwkw, so they used that car instead of mine :-(....

Oh well, I still have my whipple, and I have not regretted getting it for one second, I actually drove it to work today, and all I can say is "FUN"...

Watch OZ Garage tonight, you will learn a few things about them :)
