It is currently making with a old 22 year old t3 with HEAPS of sharft play 138rwkw on 6psi with a full 22 year old N/A exhaust!!!



They put the turbo ecu on but it was running super lean so they went back to N/A ecu. They said it was detonating pretty bad so they lowered the timing and lowered the boost to 6psi. They say i can run a little more boost through it when i get my exhaust done....

Im gonna go check it out tomorrow but wont be able to pick it up untill maybe next week if not the week after as ive got **** all $$$$

Yeh mate just a heads up for all running n/a ecu and injectors. I went in yesterday to look at my car im pretty impressed with he job they've done . Theyve dont lots of modifying and cleaning up look completely different from when i had it lol . They showed me the dyno print out and its running lean up top. Its not detonating at all but its in "the danger zone" Ill show yous a pic of the print out when i pick up the car. Im going to skip the whole stock vlt ecu and injectors and go with aftermarket ecu and bigger injectors. So my vlt ecu and injectors will be for sale soon if anyones interested.

looking good, first thing i would do is piss off that standard frontpipe, and 3" exhaust.
i ran n/a ecu and turbo injectors with no issue for 10months or so maxed them out at 183rwkw
with a 3" exhaust, standard injectors and ecu add a fuel reg should push 200rwkw

Thought i might start new build since its turbod now. Still need to mod front bumper for it to go on properly. Split a power steer house today. t3 is ****ed blows so much smoke when its cold. Currently looking at t3 highflow or i might have the t3 rebuilt dunno yet. Pics are pretty **** i ****ing hate cameras. Car is pretty slow compared to my old wagon but its got more torque because its high comp. Dyno guys reckon ill get another 60rwhp when i get the exhaust done its pretty restricted. First thing to do it get the smokey turbo fixed so i can start driving it without someone calling the fire brigade on me haha
