It was my friend taking photos and as faras I gathered he does not photoshop, so maybe its some sort of photography trick, if you really want i could ask him.

Alcantara looks the mutts!!!
Forget the 2.35 and go for a 2.5 with a standard position turbo...... you would love it!
500++ on normal pump fuel.
485bhp at 1.45bar of boost, just when you want to take it easy!

sounds awesome Shaun, but a good 2.5 cosworth is mucho expensive in relation to everything else out there and in order to rev a 2.5 and do 2 bar i gather it has to be cossworth, I'm just thinking that if I do bring my car to UK one mory time, maybe its worth fiddling with the engine, considering in 2 cylinders compression has decreased slightly. Do you have some more details on the AET turbo you got now, maybe a photo

I know they have been testing them, both the 2ltr and 2.5ltr variants over the past few weeks.
I am sure Iain will come along and give an update.

And yes, there will be 2L and 2.5L versions, and lots of bespoke variants depending on what you after. They are designed to be bolt ons for JDM twinscroll headers although intake pipe may have to be changed also.
But no news from Litchfield of late.

I've just put a HKS GT2835 on my UK Blob STi, mapping next Saturday with Simon (JGM).
Obviously I now have a different downpipe (HKS decat), manifold (HKS) and sump as well. I'm looking forward to see what it performs like, map will be EcuTek

it will be very interesting to see a compare between the hks unit and litchfield's, considering the HKS is so far the largest twin scroll bolt-on turbo

here's some information from Turbo Dynamics on the twinscroll http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/downl...oll-turbo2.pdf
I've now seen it advertised in a magazine for....£1720.00 (gulp!)

Apologies for the delay in providing more information but we have been very busy testing the new turbos and as I’m sure you can appreciate it has been a huge project. So far the results have been better than expected, compared to the other similar turbo core combinations we appear to have improved spool up and a slight improvement in top end power
Our 2.0 Type-20 turbo used the small Turbine housing for great response and produced just over 410bhp. The larger core version produced 440bhp with very good spool characteristics The same core but larger Turbine housing on our 2.5 Type-25 gave similar power but instantaneous throttle response. The mapping is relatively conservative with each car using just V-power
There are a huge range of combinations we can try and we’re slowly working through the different combinations.
I have ordered the first 50 turbos and these are in production so I hope we have units available soon.
I will put more detailed information on the website during the week.
Regards
Iain

So far we have used 3x 2.0 MY08/09 JDM STIs and a MY07 Type-25 for the larger housing.
We have lots of data from earlier cars and the hybrid turbos we would use on both 2.0 & 2.5 engines.

the only thing is that the GRB cars have dual AVCS vs single on intake in GDB, this affects the spool, right?
so will you be doing any tests on GDB 2.0 JDMs?
