What next?

So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

How about a Garrett capable of flowing say..........around 600hp.

Run some water injection to keep the detonation in check.

For Autosalon you can remove the entire intake and just have a ram tube attached directly to the turbo in some weird anodised colour like purple or bright green.

or how about a dry sump system in case you ever take it out to the track? not sure what the baffles are like on the standard FTO sump?

Cheers

Love where your heads at... water injection is something i am looking into... my tuner can build me a system so i'll be checking his opinions when i get the car on the dyno in the next week or two.

great idea about the ram tube.... reckon it'll do much for power???

Nope......

But would look impressive and probably suck in any nearby small children, birds or pets when spooling up. :-)

Sorry to be the one going ummm, don't know about that but the last time a mate of mine checked Sam, NOS was still blanket illegal in this state, only needs to be disconnected down south I think, but up here if they are smart enough to find the bottle or the lines you'd be in strife. Then again how much of what you've already done is mod plated :wink: :lol:

Oh, and agree for AS, go the ram tube :D

Its legal to have here as long as the bottle is visibly unhooked. Thats why the dummy bottle in the boot of the mini looks so prominent :D
