thats just the surface, just wait till u try to sort out all the other issy bitssy stuff. Then u know what wallet hurting really mean ehehhe

yeh well initial budget was less but little things like boost controller and guage and FPR braided lines, heat sheilding, exhaust work, etc has bumped it all up a bit.

its going to end up costing more when u start break sh*t

*hugs samsom*

on the upper hand, if anyone in qld wants to turbo their fto they know where to go now - the place that used sam's car as a lab rat.

so thank you sam, for doing us all a favour, and i think wherever that did your work for you should be paying u for letting them use your car lol

i know there's a lot of post about turbo's and pics etc etc, i wonder if anyone could clarify what is a must to get it compliance?

eg. brakes, engineer cert, gearbox? etc etc

hey man, just wondering, the 6-7000 u said, is that including upgraded brakes and a new clutch?

i doubt it has a enf certificate...check his initial post for details about what he upgraded.

6-7000 does not include clutch brakes etc. and i would expect normally this would cost a fair bit more (got 390cc injectors for like $190 and shopped around a lot)..
It will be engineered pretty soon.as far as i know, as long as there's no holes in the exhaust and everything is secure, etc, i shouldnt have a prob getting it eng.
Clutch is coming this month. Gearbox should hold up i think.. if not then i'll get a new one. as things go, i'll replace them.
