Just had a weekend flying here and there, having had a GT28R installed by Barbz on friday. I haven't driven the Coop lots, knowing the old turbo was dying, so took the time to fit a Pro Ally intercooler, alongside a Greddy Profec (A spec) and replaced the chip with a GTECH. Have been taking it easy since fitting it all, so getting it back with the new turbo was like hitting all mods at once!

I'm only running a max of 1 bar at the moment, waiting to get it booked in to Surrey Rolling Road for the fuelling check, but boy, she flies! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Feels stronger through the whole rev range, but high up just keeps pulling and pulling. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Just looking forward to getting the fuelling checked over, but what should I be aiming at, as a max boost setting (presuming fuelling is ok). Was thinking 1.2, maybe 1.3 (leaving the Walbro until after it's checked to see if it'll be neccessary).

You probably gained a few horses from my v-band Stu <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> You should be good for 1.3bar no problems once the fueling is good and 1.4bar would be great on the cooler days <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hi
with a gt28r and a fmic you need a uprated fuel pump at 1.3 bar you will be hitting 300 bhp so that would be my next upgrade

Thanks for the help with the adaptor Flea <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I wasn't expecting Barbz to do the work so quickly after having his beast mapped <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Top man

I've heard opinions both ways re the fuel pump. I know I'll be right near the edge of needing it, so will probably upgrade anyway. Certainly would be my next engine mod.

Unfortunately Barbz spotted that a spring needs replacing, so I'll be forced into some suspension work unexpectedly meaning the wallet's taking even more of a pound than expected!

Sorry guys but kind of v-band you mount?

I found one second hand. It was originally from Turbo Dynamics.

Check the thread in the Group Buy section from Kingpleb as he had a few made up. I think they're all gone now, but from memory Rog20VT (Roger from PowerFiat) might be getting more made up.
