Terry i cannot emphasise the quality of this kit I am SO pleased i took your advise and bought it , the install Turbo wise will be relatively painless , once again this kit is the absolute BO***X and Terry WILL make sure you get the correct Turbo for your needs , just remember the drivetrain needs uprating as well as the fueling and Turbo !!!

MONKEYmark Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 nice work john, the other torque convertor i got had new slim bolts you had to use. or are you talking about something else? i dont mind getting my hands dirty and having a go if it takes a long time to do. good to see it in bits. when you take stuff apart you get to see how it all works. when you come to fit go into detail of all the pipes you need to cap or dont use. when you see a single turbo kit there looks lots of room to work on car. lots of pics would be good to see. it must be good when you have all the right working conditions with ramps and jacks. keep up the good work also are you going with the BL crank pully too, just been reading about them on supra forums.
