    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    mine was making 436rwkw(585rwhp) at the time when it was last on the strip, i had a race weight of 1850kg, my 134mph was spot on but the 2.0+ 60ft were disgraceful, i was only running old circuit semi slicks.
    I never had a chance to see the potential of mine due to friggin head gasket issues and its been off the road for 11 months now, but my block and rotating assembly will be ready to pick up next week after a freshen up.
    Give it a go yourself first, if it doesnt work out then pay someone.

    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    Got to get the motor back together than ill run here up again and hopefully it will hold the boost now, im hoping to get down to wsid again to see if i can grab some more speed out of it. Ill probably sell it shortly as im well and truly over it now.
    Hopefully we can catch up some time, i havent been down to russo's for awhile now so i dont get to see the gang much.

    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    talkin about holding boost thought it felt a little lazy when craig from craigs autos took me for a spin and when i drove it from there to russo with t400 installed wouldnt hold boost russo found the intercooler had been bent back breaking brackets and putting two holes in intercooler explains why they could only get 8psi of boost out of it definantly from one of three drag on tilt tray trips with blown a4 !!!!!cheers

    Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

    my drivers side head gasket was leaking, which was forcing leaks in the cooling system due to the boost, i fix'd enough leaks that it finally blew the radiator up which then cooked the motor hence the rebuild.

    Awesome power! You can change your cluster surround plastic to one with a foglight and move the traction control button there. The loom reaches, just needs to be unwrapped
