Twin turbo for under 3k !!!!!!!

[well_fans]

Ok so you still got import and fitting costs to add on but wow!!!!! and they've got 5 available

Yeah major install nightmare though, relocate battery to the boot, cut the front all up to fit intercooler and pipework etc.

While most certainly the best power adder, the harrop twin screw is much less violent to the car bodywork.

Well I've emailed him to see if he would consider sending them here. As my car is a 2000 I am not in the slightest bit worried about cutting it about if it does what it says it does, and I have no reason to disbelieve it. That is exceptional value for money although I do feel for the uk dealers that have been trying their hardest to bring us bolt on power at a reasonable cost.

The only thing (and it is the only thing) that is stopping me buying the Harrop (last one) from monkfish is the fact that I know I would not be satisfied by 'just' adding 100ish hp. The harrop will run out of steam if I chose to go 7.0 litre and with the TT setup its not as big a problem. Plus turbos are easy to upgrade at a later date.

Defo need to dyno it with the bonnet up though

Make sure you get the fuel upgrade (AUD 1,995) as we know from experience it needs it.........And yes budget for a new exhaust and clutch (been there and done it)

Get the kit direct from the manufacturer, same price:

With these huge engines lag isn't too much of a problem but just 'cus we're blokes it has to be the twin for ultimate tyre shredding power

[after_shock]

I think the twin would be the best set up, more balanced, more driveable and ultimately more useable, plus theirs a TTR I think it is kit which upgrades the standard one for not alot more so can keep the twin with more power!

Who would be able to re-map these in the U.K and what would be the rolling road time just on setting a kit like that up?

[after_shock]

Probably sold out but:

That looks a more impressive kit.

[SS HSV]

Ok then twin it is. Next question, is anyone ele interested to get the shipping price down?

Top picture, would love that engine in the living room just to look at, like a work of art!

I would find out what sort of setting up time is needed on a rolling road as that may be a big cost if many hours are involved.

Having only just aquired my VXR, serious modifications are a long way off, but now I now which route I'd want to take, definateley twin turbos....

Previously I owned an Astra coupe turbo edit, modified from 190 to 280bhp, lots of torgue steer through a FWD. RWD is a whole new ball game for me, enjoyable, but hairy to say the least, I'm thinking about professional lessons at Castle Coombe Circuit

I agree with pretty much all of that. I had a Calibra turbo with nearly double her stock output... lessons to come I think.

Very true, used to have a Volvo T5 with 352bhp through the front wheels, interesting to say the least however went to a 200sx straight after and couldnt drive it for toffee due to the drivetrain, took forever getting used to the power coming from the back!
