CasperGTI Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I text you back about those bolts if thats the question.Ones for a bracket on the power steering pipe, the other two are for a weird shaped bracket that goes up the back of the block and holds the end of the crank sensor.What goodies you got for the insides of the engine??John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veedubdude Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 TB'd turbo, different! Will there be much gain from the throttle bodies over just the turbo?Is the other inlet manifold still for sale or has that gone now? Looking forward to seeing this running, sweet project!

Icegeezer Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Won't be massive bhp gains but the tb's will allow me to run more boost from the turbo due to better fuel/airsound will be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
