Ah, all the expensive bits yet ! Have you heard about the new GTX28 ? An emminently good turbo for your power requirements.

[craigb78]

No havent heard about it mate got any specs of it?

[Nev]

Go to the Garrett website, 3 specs/models.

cant find it only the 3071??

[Nev]

Have a look here: http://www.atpturbo....se110101-1.html

I'd suggest the GTX2867 as it will blow more at the top end of your revs. Looking at the graphs I'd guess it should be puffing out without losing too much torque until about 6500 RPM. The smaller hotside one will start losing torque about 500 revs ealier.

I can supply both these units fast and cheaply

[craigb78]

What price are they mate? bigger hotside would be better with tial vband fittings

[Nev]

They aren't officially released yet - so no price yet. Once ATP Turbo get them in stock I will find out. But I would imagine around the £1150 mark for the who thing, inc VAT + import duties + post. You have some important PM BTW.

right not really much of an update but thought i would post it in here to show that i am still tinkering a little. rear clam is still off car and i am going to get a few things powerder coated and cleaned up. but i am going to be receiving my pro alloy chargecooler kit and also a courtenay top hat here on thursday so will get these on asap and get some photos up asap

package came today

Was bored at work today and a quick search helped me find where my old car is at! Good to see it's getting 'a bit' of work done to it, I imagine it's looking and driving totally differently to how it did back in 2008! If I'm ever passing I might have to drop in to check it out. The main problem with having come back and had a look around here is that you can now get mint VXRs for what seems like no money and I'm convincing myself it'd be an investment... Maybe the new double glazing will have to wait!

[techieboy]

Long time no see/hear Mike. How tricks?

[craigb78]

Hi mike, yes it is going throught alot of changes and hopefully will be back on the road for the winter fingers crossed jsut depends on how much money situation is should be out by PVS tho i hope. yes mate you are welcome to pop by and have alook at it if you are in the country but make sure it isnt before its on the road else it will be abit boring looking at a vx220 in a garage with a sheet over and no clams on lol.

[craigb78]

Unfortunatly i have had a change of heart and deceided to not go ahead with this project now. seems a massive shame as i have come so far but i am no longer interested in a nice road car my astravan does me proud so will be keeping that for now and will be buying a track car maybe a clio cup or an astra turbo but something sub £2500 so that if i write it off its not a great shame and can just be reshelled fairly easy unlike a vx220. thanks for all the advise you guys gave me on this project
