yeah the actually IC looks really good but the radiator just looks strange down there

Be alright if you meshed it up.

i got a pw fmic and hit full boost (1.5 bar) with a gtpso2 at around 4ish depending on engine temp. Not a huge amount differsnt from the tmic about 500 rmp more with a fmic roughly

if the gtpso2 hits full boost @ 4k on a fmic then thats only 250 rpm lag as mine hits full boost with a tmic at 3750.

Some people will buy anything that looks Techno and is a bit different to the herd to brag to their mates.

I agree. Mixja off Rexnet and the forums in N.Zealand found the Power Enterprise VMIC kit absolute rubbish and a complete waste of money. He had a 2.2 stroker Twin Scroll Spec C with the same HKS turbo as well.

Avoid at all costs.

Reversed manifold, Tube and fin custom for the win. Hell I'm considering one if I can keep my Air Con.

Tuna, where are ya ?

Mixja had the Power Enterprise kit. Uwish had the Process West one.

My mistake - your correct mate. Post changed.

Its pricey to do thats why jamie and it has to be custom each time as the tolerances are too tight...

Personally I dont really rate the V-mount on its own. Reverse the manifold as well, then you might see some short tracts...and some "real" benifits.

Its such an expense to go to, reversing the manifold, fitting the V-mount...All to minimise some lag that, if you just change your driving style a bit...can be overcome...

You only experience "lag" when you get on and off the throttle...or expect great throttle response below 3000-4000rpm. Its a turbo car, its not ment to be driven that way...Even the WRC cars are keept between 4500 and 6500..
