ahah about the wheels....ceramic brake pads akebono euro !!!
i tried EBC redstuff, but after 50 miles, my wheels were dirty again !!
The exhaust tips are the ECS 4" one , as my akrapovic catback came without tips, and akra tips were 600 dollars....
Hi and welcome to NAM!
That turbo shows how puny the stock one is!
Have you replaced the injectors with larger ones?
Make sure to keep the rubber side down!

didn't changed the injector yet, but maybe i'll have to, i'm still doing data log to perfect tune the car
With that huge turbo, I think you are going to needs much larger injectors. 380s ain't going to cut it! Probably need minimum 450 or 550 injectors to go with all that air you are adding. A cam too!

Good thing he has a 2nd gen.. so he wont have to worry about 1st gen specs for injectors that he dont have.
Nice looking car, I can understand why you would park next to the high water meter stick ... but that would only let you remember where you parked before the rains came...

Motor On!
Didn't forged it yet, so, low on boost i currently have 1.3 BAR ( or KPA), for a bit more than 300 horsepower
Thanks! Been to Dominica and Barbados, did not get the chance to stop at Martinique. Maybe in the future. Did see a bunch of RHD MINIs in Barbados which was cool.
1.3 BAR is 18.8 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). 1 BAR (at sea level) is 14.69 PSI. For a turbo to give you almost 19 PSI of boost that is a good amount of boost to adding to the intake. I think standard turbo boost is about 10 to 12 PSI. So I am applauding your move to add a much larger turbo for the power gains you will have.
1,3 bar est de 18,8 psi (livres par pouce carré). 1 bar (au niveau de la mer) est de 14,69 psi. Pour un Turbo pour vous donner près de 19 psi de Boost qui est une bonne quantité de Boost à l'ajout à l'apport. Je pense que Turbo Boost standard est d'environ 10 à 12 PSI. Donc, je suis applaudir votre déménagement pour ajouter un Turbo beaucoup plus grand pour les gains de puissance que vous aurez. Si cela fait sens.
By the way, i want everybody to be advise that the engine can handle over 300 HP and a big turbo with a good tune, without having to work on the internals !
my pistons are all clean, no impact, no knocking !!! like new !
