One of the better 5's ive seen,so is it still running standard turbo??

nope mate, its running a garret VNT, run it between 14-27psi

hits 27psi just before 3k so spool up is awesome considering a T3 wouldn't be on song till after 4k

[andycaca]

can you post a copy of the dyno chart up, before stu comes along and demands it?

[razza987]

That's a lovely example of a 5! I bet grip's a bit of a problem though?

[markeyturbo]

not great pics as i took them on my phone
