rob wild Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'd be interested to see how you get on. Hope you get it sorted mate Im supprised to, there still might be a problem somewhere with the car or turbo, we run out of time to check. Ive not written it off yet, lets see what happens next week.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Im supprised to, there still might be a problem somewhere with the car or turbo, we run out of time to check. Ive not written it off yet, lets see what happens next week. It can be so hard to improve when you get so close to what you want first time! Why did you change the turbo? more power? Maybe you are at that stage BHP wise where they say you go to high and no longer getting the speed...just the numbers. Anyway knowing you Jamie you'll get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Why did you change the turbo? more power? TBH it came up cheap and when mine was busted so i thought id give it a try, either way ill get the car how i want it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Jamie, do you know who's car it was on previously and the set up it was used to?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Jamie, do you know who's car it was on previously and the set up it was used to?? I brought it from paul wiffin, it was on his car prior, i spoke to paul and he said there should be no issues with the turbo, lets see:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I wonder how many miles has been put on it. Is there anyone else on the board running/has run the same turbo?? Wonder how there's compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 That dyno looks familiar! Looks like I'll be paying a few visits there over the next few weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I ordered another gt4088 couple weeks ago with the .96ar now im worrid that wont be any good either:( It'll be fine mate. It's only the next turbine housing up from what you had before, everything else is the same. As you know I've gone for the .96 myself and I'm quite confident it'll be great. If you're really worried about it get Kyle to change it for a .81A/R - he won't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Jamie, might be worth asking Paul if he has any dyno plots of his car with this turbo on to compare - surely he must have?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Jamie, might be worth asking Paul if he has any dyno plots of his car with this turbo on to compare - surely he must have?! Not of a lot of point mate, if it cant compete back to back with a 4088 in spool or power then im not intrested, lets see what happens when we wack the boost up.

I fear the worst Jamie but will wait to be proved wrong, I have never been a fan of larger turbos, the pricing on the 4088 at the mo is good so a no brainer if this one proves not to live up to expectations, I would always opt for a smaller turbo on a road car, im currently trying to source a lively little nubmer for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well im not giving up on it yet, the gasket that joins the tubby to the manifold gave up today, also i notice a blue flame coming from the joint when on the dyno, lets hope that is where i was losing boost and power from, Greg is sorting it monday and then it will go back to the dyno first chance i have.

I shoud have just bunged the new 4088 i think as i was happy with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Jamie, how do you end up paying TurboFit. Do you just get random bills, or do you have like a monthly debt order and pay them a sum of money every month??? After seeing the first video of your car wit the 4088, I was very impressed and will seriously be considering that for my car when the current hybrids give in. Was not impressed with the video of the new setup.... Hope you get it srted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
