Get in there

 

is it wrong to get aroused by a metal object?

 

Love it , I WANT ONE. Did you polish the housing yourself or did it come like that?

 

Fantastic Frayz is this the 'proper' turbo you recommend I invest in

 

Frayz, are u adding extra supports to the turbo when fitted (most rotated kits have a extra bracket fixed to the block to pick up on the flanges for extra support)? or do you think its light enough for the headers/uppipe to support the turbo?

 

Nice job

 

Dave, I paid extra to have it polished when I bought it. The turbo is daft light, I actually can't get my head around it just yet. Its weird when you pick it up as you expect it to weigh a ton, and well... It just doesn't.
All pipework will be custom made and the uppipe will have a support bracket incorporated into the design. I would never hang a turbo unsupported.

Merv, yeah mate get one. You know you wanna.

Frayz

I really hope the Tial turbo works,it shows loads of promises and i would by one if i was looking for that type of turbo.

 

David Buschur has done a lot of testing on the Tial housing. The internals are identical to the Garrett except for the far superior surface finish on the stainless Tial housing.
The syainless housing has a much thinner wall thickness due to the high quality casting and that's where it gains its biggest weight saving.
I'm really hoping for big things from it. We shall see.

looks immense!!!

 

Is there any reason why you always double post Frayz? Besides trying to increase your post count

 

It's a known issue with some pc setups and scoobynet at the moment. Not something he's doing deliberately.

 

Doesn't double post when using the PC only when using my Blackberry for some reason?

 

How much was the new beast Frayz?

 

Very well priced actually Peter. I took advantage of an offer on by GT3 Turbo. They were doing free upgrades to the Tial housing at the moment which is normally a £400 option.
The v-band flanges and claps are extra though. Including the ported and polished compressor housing the whole lot came in at £1180 delivered.

I'm really confident that the Tial housing works well and have done as much digging around about it as possible. I guess I just had to take the plunge.
I obviously did think about the billet SC 35R. But from what I've seen the billet wheels only really start to make a difference at 1.8 bar+ boost levels.
And I did not feel the difference was worth the extra money. Internally this housing is identical to the Garrett so should do 600+bhp. That's plenty enough for me should I ever even get near it!

The weight difference is huge and the housing is really clean and won't rust. So winner all round really for the price.

I can't wait to see the pipes that Neil is going to make for it

 

Thats a great Price mate...

 

Pop in here tomorrow Frays, we're only just around the corner.

 

Cheers for the invite Paul, will be nice to see you. :-)

 

You know it makes sense.

Not sure about the Fanta 'zero' though...

 

Turbo, manifold, wastegate etc are all now with Neil @ T-Logic. Can't wait to see my new full V-band ratated kit.

 

Thats a good price for the turbo with the added bits Frayz....did you pop down and see paul?

Have noticed thats smartphones have a tendancy to double post myself with the iphone, i thought it was you on the PC thats all

 

Yeah I did pop in and see Paul. Not been to Zen before, but they seem to have very nice professional looking premises.

Nice to see a few friendly faces there too. Neil was also a very nice, friendly chap and his work looks very nice indeed. No wonder RCM used Neils manifold and rotated pipe setup on the Gobstopper.

More parts arrived today.

Setrab 19 row oil cooler, -8 fittings in black and thermostatic takeoff plate. Cheers to Ben @ Hel Performance


2nd intake trumpet for another foglight intake duct


Powerflex exhaust hangers... funny story behind these but needless to say the old ones are shagged.

 

Just read through this whole thread mate, started a build on mine now... about 4 years overdue!

Funny, I was given Ben@ Hel performance details yesterday about our brake calipers ... The guys at total impreza tell me they make very good brake lines, will have to get in touch soon .

Keep up the good work mate, if you are in town come and polish my heads for me

 

Frayz,

You shouldn't have oil temp issues with the Setrab cooler as it looks bigger than mines.

 

Just seen your blingy blingy turbo - looks very nice Frayz!

 

You been to T-Logic then fella?
