Jez sutherland Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Finally got the car all sorted out and running properly again. Leon and the guys at JPS replaced the turbos with their stage 3 hybrids, and after running in and all that - I must say I am really pleased. The car is noticably more powerful at stock boost levels - with no extra lag! And when the boost is turned up, the kick from the second turbo is excellent. I had heard some people say that UKs on hybrids could be nasty - well, in my experience, they are excellent! Anyway, a big thanks to Leon and the guys. It was a real pleasure dealing with them. I can strongly recommend JPS to anyone who hasn't already tried them, and must say that Leon is a top bloke. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 what are you like for traction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez sutherland Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Traction is still not too bad - never had any problems with the stock turbos, but do have a bit of a traction issue sometimes now. Tyres are SO3s - which are excellent, and the car is a manual, so I have really good control over the power using the clutch. I still don't see the need for RLTC - perhaps I drive like a pussy? I recon the extra power will not cause traction problems when the roads are not covered with salt and other crap - we'll see! As a matter of interest, the tyres I use in the summer are 275s, and the extra little bit of width makes a massive difference to grip IMHO. You having traction problems Monkeymark?
