Rob_Mitchell Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Holy mo fo Rob, amazing attention to detail mate. Quick question off topic, can you recommend a really good chrome polishing liquid/cream/substance for my CCW wheels? Thank you Hello mate I actually still think the best metal polish is Kleers metal polish! It's very low in compound so doesn't scratch. Christian aka stonkin would be the man to ask for wheel maintenance but I never really had any problems with that and to seal it I used to use poor boys wheel sealer. Been stalking this thread for months now, looking forward for more updates which can't come fast enough! Keep up the good work Hello, I know the process of my parts this time around seems to take months but the results are different from any other build so I don't mind waiting. Once I get engine this month things will be moving. Stay tuned and thanks for following me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) TURBO Well the past few days i have been researching so much on what type of turbo i want for my build and what suits my style of driving and the look i want to see under the bonnet. Lee @ SRD has yet again been a star and been answering my calls with man flu and giving me information and guiding me through everything. This turbo choice and kit will get a few raised eyebrows but the more we chatted about getting it, the more we both think that its going to be absolutely the right choice for me. Well it needs no introduction but i am going for the following VWR T6 manifold Twin tial 44mm wastegates GT4780 Turbo with billet anti surge insert 4.5" downpipe 6" Intake pipe and K&N filter Im not a loon around the streets and im all about putting my foot down when on a open road and using the car for showing. This kit will make stupidly big numbers, bigger than i initially went out for and no one can knock how it going to look in the engine bay. Im very excited. Supporting mods will now be number 1 on the list and fuelling is something me and Lee think is key.

tooquicktostop Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Good choice, I have a similar driving style so the T88 works for me, a fast spooling turbo (I have had several) just sees you on boost all the time and gets you to silly speeds around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Good choice, I have a similar driving style so the T88 works for me, a fast spooling turbo (I have had several) just sees you on boost all the time and gets you to silly speeds around town My twins were laggy, especially on a auto but they packed a punch on the motorway which always mad me giggle like a girl. the small BWS362 i had was spooling all the time and just isnt my style, im not a racer and it felt i was always racing people which isnt me. Always better to come late than too early. Everyone is different and uses the car differently. Granted a modern day alternative will spool stupidly faster but they also carry a huge price tag for something thats not even going to look half as decent too in a bay. I think i will have the best of both worlds and im very happy.

j_jza80 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Nice spec, although I'm quite surprised going by your requirements you haven't considered a HKS T51R kai. Not only for the legendary sound, but the vband manifold is nicer looking than a rectangular flange. I suppose the main issue would be finding one.

I actually thought you would be the one to shoot me down lol. HKS T51 is my dream turbo but for what one costs I literally would have paid for this whole kit. I would be silly not to take this on. This build isn't my main priority in life no more so I am searching for used parts and adding my skills to clean them up and fit in. I bought new on the gold rush and lost lots of money.

j_jza80 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 No brainer then. And to be honest, I've done the same thing. Many of the bits in my build were chosen with initial cost and running costs in mind Still didn't stop it spiralling out of control though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah it's the best way nowadays. Always some nice cars getting broken up and more and more parts available.

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just thought i would update the thread with some little teaser pictures of my TT cam covers and auxillary belt tensioner, all hand engraved. These will all be sent for nickel now and ill 24ct gold plate them when back. Massive thanks to SRD for welding and smoothing my breather fixings! enjoy the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
