Nicely played on the build.

Stock turbo on a built motor? I hope you plan on a TD06 at least once she's run in.

that'll put a smile on yor dial!

Cosworth big end and main bearings
Cosworth head gaskets
STI gasket and seal kit
STI timing belt, and tensioner
STI water pump
ARP head stud kit
Platinum spark plugs
Clutch plate


Got the work done at ASG, and with the Verso tune done it's making 252 BHP and 390NM ATW.

Suffice to say, I'm pretty chuffed with it, loving the improved drivability and mid-range punch.
VERY Nice!! Adrian

Pretty happy with the drive atm, weighing up future turbo options, TD06 sounding good. Have had the GT Pumps GTPS02T suggested too?
But sway bars, springs/coilovers, ALK, etc. probably gonna happen before any more power mods.

hehe fair enough. GTPS02T is a twin scroll remember so requires a few other bits and pieces to get it working.

Happy to take you for a spin in mine if you ever feel like upgrading. I'd probably opt for a TD06 if I was to do it again. Purely for the boxor rumble.

Spewin it needed a build. Stoked its come back alive.

I would stick to the turbo you have. Better drivability and will be quicker around all tracks in perth except drags.

If I were to upgrade, daily driveability, "accessible" power and down low punch are my priorities. Not chasing big power numbers (so I say now )
Cheers, will be keen as to check out your ride sometime, see where I could head with mine.

Yeah, was a little annoyed having to build her, but apparently pretty typical for the crappy pistons needing changing at that age (80,000km). Happy as that it's all sorted and reliable now
