With the TD05, did you find it much different from the stock turbo - VF12 here - same in the US?

Couple of weeks back I ripped it off. Not as simple as just undoing some bolts either!

I just covered the holes with white electrical tape, looks ok, not TOO dodgey if your up close.

Looks lower and smoother I reckon, and looking at the car from the back with spoiler looks funny, like you got the skirts, then the bumper, then the black strip, then the lights and that black strip, then the top of the boot, then the wing, looked too cluttered, heaps nice with just no wing front behind.

Yup, you guys always seem to get the "better" versions :x
Us Americans need to source "hand-me-down" parts from you guys :oops:

Considering we got the VF11 - RBH52 turbo stock (with the 2.2L) the cars were two different species!! Our cars were not intercooled either :x
So this setup is a CONSIDERABLE improvement over stock!!

Need some bigger injectors . . . I'm sure I'm pretty close to maxxing out these 370ccs . . .
