adi2009 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 That is stunning. I'm hoping to to the BL61 route as well!!! R u running the e-manage??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Looks good I understand 550s and resistor packs if you've got a UK model (they are already there!) But if you're upgrading from a JSpec, why not go for bigger ones, since you need bigger than 550 anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 550's from the US/UK spec car can be picked up pretty cheap compared to some of the aftermarket ones.. i picked up a set of 550's as well (for when i go for the BL61) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 1 word mate, cost, i've had to buy the wife a Yaris to keep her happy, the 550's were £200 of the board ... If it's cost then fair enough, I could be quite tight myself For example bigger injectors for Vaux turbos are typically sold in the £200 - £400++ depending on flow (per set of 4) I would get the exact same ones from the States for around £80, inc delivery. So I could afford several different sets to experiment, and then sell them at a profit at way below the standard 'rip off Britain' prices. When it's time to dismantle my fuel rail I'll investigate equivalents for the Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
