Gotta be one of the nicest turbo vls in the Naturally aspirated section of this forum hehe. Machine that fly wheel and go easy on the MF5 unless you wanna smash the black box. Extreme are good clutches for their price. Their HD is supposedly better quality than the equivalent exedy item. Got the same as yours with a 1,250 pressure suffix going in soon. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Haha it was n/a once upon a time, yeah I've heard good things about these clutches for the price mate has the same one so thought I would give it a go. Is it a big issue if I didn't get the fly wheel machined as I've already got the box in, and yeah this black box is gonna get a hiding for sure lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

(http://s798.photobucket.com/user/Gum166/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsd4a644c4.jpg.html) Or am I better off just using the factory rail and putting a top hose on the injectors? This is the rail I have but it doesn't suit the factory plenum also does anyone know what plenum it would suit?

I used the standard rail on mine and i have a rajab plenum, i just used a bigger hose to go over the injectors, it works fine, the rail would prob suit most aftermarket plenum id guess,

The day I got my sedan I knew I had to have a set of charcoal ssv for it and they suit it so well. Yeah the new daily has a stock turbo setup on it. ---------- Post added 08-06-15 at 21:36 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by priceysVL [View Post] Wagon looks pretty clean. Plans for it? Not many plans for it it's already very clean has 28 spline diff, mx7 gearbox, and just a stock turbo setup. Only things it needs are leaky water pump replaced and an after market fuel pressure regulator that's about it for now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
