Notice any significant increase in Lag?

Fit OK? Any cutting?

Notice an improvment?

Cheers!

I have the said item on my scoob...along with a VF24 and a link.

No increase in lag, loadsa cutting, and it definately improved things.

..but you will need a bigger turbo than the td04 to make real use of it, and a remap - on a standard car it won't do much on the road (maybe on the RR).

Thanks for info.

`Loadsa cutting` - All on the bumper side? Did it fit in easily, do you move rad or add / delete fans?

Already got bug turbo, Unichip etc etc....

James,

I've got one too...fitted it last Novemeber.

The bumper does need a fair bit of cutting back on both the plastic and the steel bumper bar, although it's fairly straight forward...unless you use a stanley knife

Gains are good, as expected, however it does depend on what you start with...if you have a uk car with a TD04 turbo it's a little small and does not suit front mount applications.

If your interested in getting one drop me a mail, I know a source
