Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 ah cool mate yes was tempted to sell the charger and go the turbo route but then I found someone to increas the pulley for me so I could get the power I wanted plus the noise of a charger is epic ! look forward to seeing yours progress mate Link to post Share on other sites

lumoxs 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 not yet, im not going to buy a complete kit,as ill buy bits n bobs here n there, i hav a T28 off a skyline, and my FMIC set up.so i would of thought its straight (ish) forward from here on in...

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 yeah dont think there are any kits mate ! also not 100% sure but I think a T28 will be too small buddy ? lol forced induction is rarely straight forward but always always fun ;) Link to post Share on other sites
lumoxs 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 the only reason ive gone t28 is because i want it to spool up quicker.... not wanting top end but acceleration is key round here Link to post Share on other sites
