Default New blower

Picked up my new turbo today...

Precision GT4067HPS


GT40 housing 67mm compressor, Hi flowed ported shroud (Anti surge housing)

I need a new manifold now though... Can't seem to get a response from Wasabi garage about one of thier manifolds. Anyone ever get any response from them ??

Some pics...







My current set up with the smaller GT3040....

Great looking engine bay.
How much power will the new turbo bring?

The turbo is rated for 700hp in the right application. I am looking to get 500ish at the wheels...

Will see how it goes, it is still early days as I still need to upgrade a few bits like my intercooler and beef up the transmission some.

No, I'm not ready for that yet, still much to do before I take her down the strip. I hope to have it all ready by Sept for a run at Crail in Scotland.
