Homer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I havnt.Its just that everyone says cheap tubi's crack. So do cheap cast ones They have their own issues though, see my earlier post. Just make sure you understand what you're buying before making a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Here are the 2 ive narrowed it down to: Cast: http://www.suprastore.com/tusutuma94t0.html Tubi: http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=8505&category_id=2607&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Suprastore - run Forest, run! Whifbitz - call and talk to Paul directly (if not done already). Don't make a decision based on the advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 So i shouldnt be dealing with suprastore?? I was planning to buy a few bits and bob from them? Search here and internationally, they don't have a very good reputation for aftersales service, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Wez old setup on stock cams? Ryan said that graph was not right, done in the wrong shoot out or something. It was done in SHOOT_6 as SHOOT_6F was not available at the time, this was back in 2006, the SHOOT_6F was added later and indicates forced induction which puts less load on the motor to keep heat down, as a result less load and therefore slightly less spool. The power/torque figures are correct but the spool may be marginally off I assume its this graph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Wez is on a lot smaller turbo than me and it only just spools a tad faster, 50rpm id guess Its also a much much older non DBB turbo with many more miles on it and 264/264 cams and a quiet restrictive exhaust, not really comparable since you are running the latest DBB unit, smaller cams and large free flowing exhaust. Although the old girl doesnt do too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I'll be at SRR pretty soon with ryan so i'll get several graphs posted up for comparison. 1.4bar, 1.6bar and maybe even a 1.8 run just for the sake of the numbers and info game. My exhaust changes are done now (4" as opposed to 2.875") and that puts me on a more level playing field for comparing to other people's plots.
