Rides a bit firmer but not harsh ( I drive Sydney's shitest rd daily )
Deffs worth doing the mods when you have the cash


Thanks for the feedback. That helps. It's something I want done for sure. The understeer is a nightmare when you are used to cars that turns when you want it to. I reckon I'll PM Taylor again and see what he can do to help get the $ down.

ah, ok thanks Jack. Sounds like Im better off getting either an AVO, PW or Perrin version instead. Leaning towards the PW one due to the better shroud they have. Extra price yes, but seems to be a better kit. Thoughts? Im not looking for huge numbers either. Just want good bang for buck as Im willing to stick with the stock turbo. The Perrins are under 1k, not sure on the price of the AVO's.

I knew this statement wouldn't hold true - the power bug has bitten :mrgreen:

what power are you looking at?

because I would save that money & make a diy water sprayer with a pressure switch :)

AVO, Perrin, and PW all have bar & plate....that design causes turbulence around the fins, a rolled edge works so much efficiently....like the stock ones...
