I don't know of anyone personally, but I have heard that it does give very good results.

There are other Turbo options available, but it's probably best for some of the guys who can quote part numbers for them to comment

We actually are doing a special on the VF22, VF 23, VF 24 and VF 28.
Much cheaper than the $2250 as mentioned above. Much, much cheaper!
Anyway before we get flamed for advertising, I am signing out.

So Firefox,
As you're so helpful, I can but myself a nice 2.2 kit, all internals etc for a nice reliable 400hp and you'll fit it for free?!
It's Christmas!!!!!!

Greg..

I know you pay and advertise on the Scoobynet BBS....But...

I think it would have been better to directly email the person in question about the turbo...as opposed to "plugging" your company...

Scoobynet is trying to eradicate this form of advertising...

If you have a new product.... put it in the correct section of the BBS... the "New Product" section.

Cheers,

J.

Hi,

Fair play to Greg - his post was directly related to the matter at hand, and he didn't use the opportunity to plug any of BPMs other products.

Cheers,

Alex

J,
No, I'm not sure, but I'm after loads of torque - why, not a good idea?

Errrrrrr......J.

Didn't your turbo blow up at Donno?
And is what Greg said different to what you offered?

Stef.

Steph..

Indeed my turbo did die..

Hence why I now know of sources for turbos...

If you ask light12 (eitan), then he will tell you I have been talking to him off the BBS..about turbos and mods.... I have told him cheap sources...and then what to expect/do... It is far easier for him to purchase one from MRT or BPM than off myself..

If I wanted to.. I could probably beat most the prices offered by various companies on here... but I cant be bothered... I like to help people... and not cause crap...

I've had this conversion before...

Greg knew he was plugging BPM... thats why he said "Anyway before we get flamed for advertising, I am signing out.".. He could have privately emailed Light (which I know he has done).. or put a posting in the New Products section... Or he could list what the specs and differences are between each turbo.. and what would be best for each car...As opposed to saying they are far cheaper than other peoples prices..

Anyways..

I'm off to fit my modified down pipe..

J.
