Yeah I'm aware, just thinking at the moment or what about just turboing the 6a12, can you get high boost?

No not without forged internals and a decompression gasket.

The money you would spend on putting 10psi through your 6a12, which is pretty average, you could put a stock 6a13 in if done on the cheap or most of a 4g in, assuming the average turbo kit will set you back 10kish after everything is done properly. Possibly cheaper on the fly, but again thats 3/4 the way to another faster engine

Thinking about ripping out my back seats.
Trust me. I dare say a complete stock manual GPX with stock wheels can beat you anytime even with your exhaust and intake mod.

You're wasting your power on excessive grip from 9.5" wide wheels.
Not to say any reduction in unsprung weight is crucial.

You can strip your seats, and change bonnet/boot into FG saving you 15kg, while even a mere 5kg weight reduction on wheels can beat the benefits of all that.

I think the wheel width thing is sort of like benchmarking on a pc.

No I agree with you phi, but it doesn't cost anything to dream :)

The only problem with buying off other people is you don't know how much care and efforts been taken

Search author's FTOSAM

Why do you need aftermarket parts on a 6a13? You won't be able to get traction with standard parts..

he WAS selling it, it sold quite a few months back now, and it he wanted 12.5k dropped to 9600, however it needed numerous things done to it to get it up properly again, mainly fuel pump and injectors.

If your that desperate for a turbo right now, and have 10k, go buy HKSFTO
