Pff, FFS... Look at yourself. You're sposed to be a moderator and you're making people feel unwelcome for contributing. Good onya, mate. You're a fine advertisement for the site. I really feel like hanging around and telling you more stuff you don't know... You've gotta be bigger than that to fill t...

Oh come now m8 have a think about things here for a minute. The wheel might be a few grams heavier yer? Does not the bigger wheel have more actual area? What effect would you think this might have then?? Your not being stupid but I think you are dazzling yourself in science and being a bit too peda...

The T25G with T25 turbine housing won't spool up quite as quick as a T25, cause the compressor's bigger and thus heavier. Ahhhh not quite right bloke. The zorst side is what influences spooling speed. Not the compressor side. I think youll find the only difference is a slightly different A/R betwee...

Yeah, that sunroof spun me out; I couldn't work out if it was factory or aftermarket. This car's also got stickers all over it and lairy bits of plastic bolted to the pedals. It's prolly not worth fixing up; the dude I got it off broke the key off in the driver's door then busted up the ignition swi...

Prolly worth having a look at KKR turbos; the 280=T2, 330=T25, 380=T28 (I think; not completely sure)

Once you get a turbs reco'ed, it'll prolly cost more than one of these...

Nah, like I said, I think it's more like a T2. KKR 330 would prolly be T25 equivalent, and the KKR 380 is like a T28, I guess.

Prolly different shocks altogether in Commodores, GMH changed the suspension along with the driveline, IIRC

on a not entirely at all relevantly unrelated topic . . . . .. . does super steve mold sierra cosworth bonnet vents into the bonnet, cos i dont want them to look like they have just been chucked on their. or will a good paint job afterwards with a gloss coat fix this up? You'd have to use some pain...

It sucked arse.

Anyway, my car's up on the hoist minus its engine and transmission, ATM

I could do without the advertisement, guys. I've already had a T25G pinched, you know
