  1. Fitting a bigger intercooler won't raise power on it's own unless you up the boost a little to compensate for the higher amount of cool, dense air going into the engine. The boost should drop a tiny bit if the intercooler is doing it's job properly, yet the engine will make the same power. It just has to push less air to get the same result. Hence a power increase is seen when the boost is brought back up to the same level as before, because you're actually getting more air (denser) flowing into the cylinders. The above is only true for comparing two intercoolers in exactly the same condition, so isn't the case with most of our cars.
  2. I'd speak to Haywood and Scott.
  3. Well I prefer facelift lights personally the glass ones look at bit dated IMO.

    I'm a Dad!!!!

    Congrats fella, bet you're over the moon
  5. Wow - that's a nice looking Supra. Someone will get a serious bargain there.
  6. Not as bad as the under-steer
  7. Oh so you did turbo it?? Nice work! I had a run-in with one of those not too long ago. Shame he didn't realise I'd played with my car too
  8. As Jake said, pointless. The turbo timer just runs the car idling for a while when you turn it off. It's much better to cool the car down whilst moving to avoid possible engine damage. I'd never use a turbo timer, it's a lot simpler to run off-boost for a minute or so then turn it off as normal. Simple
  9. Either you turbo'd your teg, or you raced N/As or people who can't drive
  10. Have you ever driven a stock TT?
  11. Nice one - will you BPU it or leave it bone stock? Almost seems a shame not to up the boost after all the engine work.
  12. ...wearing??? no I've got a panda costume on, with 2 jelly moulds and a hat with a peacock feather.
  13. It's got too many turbos
  14. Black is the best colour. It's the fastest because the paint weighs less.
  15. Marc your GF is quite small in the head department.

    The stig

    I've seen him in several Supras, including mine Thorin is right though. Many Stigs are afoot.
  17. As much good as electronic turbochargers mate. Snake oil.

    arches

    Just get someone who knows what they're doing to do it, like I did. Mine have lasted about 2 years with no paint issues at all.
