It sounds like another succsessfull russo development. Your specs sound very simular to mine.

sounds nice mate. have you had any trouble with your auto? i am still in the air about whether to have my 4 speed built, or go the t 400. about how much was yours built for by craigs if you dont mind me asking?? thanks.

[Don't need one]

is she leather interior martin? if so i reckon a set of monaro buckets would be the go i am a tad biased but

[Cool Daddy]

Nothing like a turboed wagon-weapon of choice when it comes to the stealth factor,also good dyno results+track times.Good work Justin/chris,

16-17psi should see you at 700rwhp or 522rwkw given that every psi seems to be adding around 12rwkw at the start and moving upto over 15rwkw based off you figures, these turbo's seem to work best over 12psi so you can jump up quite easily.

hi yeh justin /chris assured this turbo only starts to work at 13+psi just worried about a4 and because im using to get to work for next few months will leave as is for now be interested on figures if it was manual good clutch etc???cheers

The bros have plenty of experience with these turbo's so feel assured it will do what they say, im yet to push mine due to head gasket issues and because of them my motor is apart again awaiting on new pistons but once its back together 18psi will be run straight through it to see how far it will go.
