For those of you that remember, I bought Jintels car last year, he had already done some farely extensive modding to get to 275 bhp. But the next step was for a new turbo.

Well that went on today and now I am waiting for my remap to see the full results. But all I can say is WOW <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> it is so much stronger already.

I hope to be in the 290 region now at 1.2 bar, but with Torque to match it.

Curent mods are:

Superspool
Greddy Profec II
Gtech II - hi fuel
3" straight through exhaust
Evo FMIC
Unichip
255 walbro

With the new turbo and boost control it now pulls all the way to red line and pull sreally string, had a play on the way home from Rogs with a Saab 93 Turbo and a BM 330 and it was great the pull the car had above 5,000. The car has no extra lag whatsoever and pulls cleanly from around the 2400 - 2500 mark in every gear.

The boost controller needs a little work on it, as I am losing some power towards the top end, but until I get RR'd and the fuelling spot on, I am happy with this anyway. My unichip remap is not for 3 weeks, But I will post up my results after that.

So for anyone tkinking of what turbo to get, I haven't driven any of the GT R/RS units, but this one is great <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also, for anyone thinking about the unichip route, Rog said my car was exceptionally strong pulling and put this down to the unichip too.

So more thanks to Rog for his hardwork and watch out for my RR results <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nicely done Jim. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Glad you're happy with it.

Will look forward to the results Jim! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am being mapped on the 4th March - so will post up then <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like a powerhorse now.. So where can one purchase a superspool turbo? and how does it differ from GT28R?

thanks

The superspool is from Barbz and is a hybrid unit.

Difference from the GT28R, is it is a direct bolt on, I don't think you can get as much top end power nor hold as much top end boost. But then I am not interested in that, as I don't drive everywhere on the red line. I hope I will get 290 ish with a good torque figure too, but won't know until the RR.

There are a few people who have been running these for longer than me, Jimbo & JamesH IIRC

It is a great turbo, and pulls lovely. You can get great figures from this unit with a few extra mods. (look below)

What mods are you running to get that Jamie?

Gtech 2, super spool, pace sidemount, uprated down pipe , decat and exhaust, aquamist, uprated fuel pump, K&N induction kit, Ithink thats it, Oh running prv at about 20psi fueling petty much spot on.

Sorry to butt in, but interesting to note jamie3 using a prv, along with busa1300. How are you holding over 1.3bar with prv, is it modified? Or a different one to cosmographs?

No its not holding 1.3 at redline, but its not fare off that, it is the one from cosmograph, mine peaks at about 21 psi, but does drop back a little close to red line, im happy with it.

Mine doesnt overboost but i went for a PBV instead of PRV due to their designs and its a cosmo unit as well <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

kp willl you be selling your superspool soon then as your getting a gt28rs?

I dont have a superspool but a hybrid of sorts and have 2 people in aque for my turbo at the minute <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I used to have it in my sig but i cant put all the letters in and sitting and playing with photoshop or even paint is too time consuming for me with work at the minute which is why my posts have dropped off as well <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

@ JimO & jamie3 are you guys still running the std clutch?

Yes, but mine is spanking new, with only 2,000 miles on it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Next time I will go for an upgraded unit

No mines uprated Barbz clutch i think its the Gta with uprated clutch plate or something like that.

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My OE clutch is on 60k now so looks like I should budget in an uprated clutch along with turbo then.
