I am not very happy
I paid R12K 2 years ago for this turbo
,the worst part is i have never pushed the car with this turbo fitted .NO trackdays ,1 x drag session. and not much milage as the car was in the shop 3/4 of the time
during the build.
Oh well things happen for a reason so the PTE 5857 550HP turbo will have to do
,I have gone with the Precition is for Reputation and the VERY GOOD price(thanks OBS) ,I am selling the car so i cant afford to spend more then i need to as its a straight loss

Just drive it around on fast for a few hours, Hopefully you will change your mind!!
Power is nothing without control,
Control is not fun without power.
Traction is over rated.

UPDATE: the S14 is back on the road and running like a dream
low boost 1 bar ,high boost 1.4 bar
motor has cometic hg,arp's and some aftermarket pistons so we can boost higher but i dont think its needed ,at 1.4 bar the car pulls like a train
ALL the electrical gremlins are sorted now so all is 100% back to my fussy standards
Car is still for sale as i need the money for a new business venture and to do some work on the Evo
