Chim Upgrades (Brakes / Shocks and Turbo!!!) :)

[Fat Boy Chim]

After a roller coaster 12 months illness, and several trips in my P & J being rolled over to 2013, i find myself, once upto full health craving some upgrades for 'the Mistress' !

can anyone help with the following?

1. 4ltr Chim 'Turbo' upgrade, rather than going down the 5ltr upgrade, i have decided to follow the turbo route, can anyone who has had the upgrade fitted, give me an honest feed back from experience owner / driver? the figures look very impressive, but would just like a little feed back from owners who have had either of the 2 turbo upgrades fitted.

2. a little while ago on here was a brake upgrade for the Griff / Chim, using Granada Cossie calipers, i have bought the parts, but now cannot find the post!!! can anyone help here? Linkie please!

3. one last upgrade i am planning is a Alloy Rad and upgraded shocks, again any pointers here would be very, very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

I came accross AARON Radiator whilst on my quest for a replacement after I blew out my original after my usually reliable garage left a huge air block in it . Anyway , check out his website and/or give him a call . When I spoke to him he was helpful and enthusiastic. From memory I think he could knock up whatever version you would need in a couple of weeks and send it off to you for not too much different a price of an original. For some reason I didn't use him. If i'm remembering wrong on the price thing then let me know as I don't want anyone paying over the odds - We've all got a long list of toys and a short enough budget already.
