Sexy. What did you pay for the ceramic?

I vaguely looked at getting headers, uppipe, down pipe and maybe turbo casing done but it was more that the sum of all those parts to buy in the first place

Looks great and bet it keeps temps down but I bet it cost more than the part did!

Doing it in sections don't make it seem so costly.

This is true.

You run BC's on yours don't you? Interested to know what dampening levels do you run on track? I was thinking about 15-20 clicks towards hard to start with and experiment from there

Cheers, looking at getting it corner weighted and getting it setup. Going to try about 2degree camber to start with and go from there.

I've been putting this off for the last couple of weeks as the time and money I've spent I didn't want it to go bang as soon as I switched it on!

I risked it and turned it on tonight!!



Had a noisy tappet which has now gone. A small coolant leak but other than that it's pretty good!

Unfortunately i had to remove the turbo today

I was getting a small amount of steam coming from the rear of the turbo, found the thread on the core of the turbo is shagged and needs to be repaired!
