Smile HP Junkies Big News

Well for all of you that crave hp it appears that...........

As many of you are aware even do that we got some good hp results that didn't stop me in my quest to find a "special turbo"
I know that some of you guys dont believe in magic but I do.

After exchanging e-mails I got invited to a local turbo shop as I meet the owner the sales manager and one of the turbo specialist we when back to the car, they look, I fire the engine up and they all look at each others,the sales manager replays"lets go inside" and we did after they have hear all that I had to said they agree with me,as I almost pass out since is not often that people agree with me,then the manager replay we like the car,we like the sound and we like what you have to said and he stop...........at that moment I am wondering if he is ready to drop the bomb,suddenly he ask will you like a "part sponsorship"

I had to idea what that mean, I was not even aware that they had those,so it basically as I understood they will build me as many turbos as I want to try and we already agree with our first "secret turbo" they even offer me 2 brand new GTs if I wanted to go twin turbo,of course my car will go in their web site and I must display their company logo at the races and other events,so it appears that the Turbo Gods have hear our prayers now if I could get the same deal in the clutch dept we be set as I think that we will need one per year

So down we go with our "secret turbo" our fuel mangst system get her to run 10s get her in a magazine and mission accomplish.

I figure I share

a partial sponsership? NICE!!!

even if it's just fuel management for a little exposure it can't hurt at all

AHH. I'm not much of turbo man (haven't ridden in one and frankly don't want to if you know what I mean ) but it seems like taking a turbo to it's limits isn't a cakewalk.

I've been following your project closely and I'm really impressed with what you've done with your slightly different approach. One of these days when I'm out of school a 2.1L turbo would be fun to play around with.

Might be able to use that to your advantage with other possible "sponsorships" if you use the, "i am sponsored by this guy already, would like to sponsor our cause as well?". It might work, i know i'd help sponsor you if i had something to sponsor .

That's great news! Garrett GT are very good turbos, especially when fitted with ball bearings.

Two GT30BB's or one carefully tuned GT42BB would probably do wonders for your car. Add real speed/density EFI , launch-control and ant-lag and you'll be down sniffing on 10's w/o problems.

Dual snails are somewhat better from lag point of view, but increase weight and complexity. One GT42BB or T72 is almost bolt-on ...

Good luck!
