Just picked up a ASE T1000 Single Turbo Setup (Garret T51R) & full fuel system - will get picks up soon. Been told that should make around 400+rwkw on a safe tune. Hanging to get it together.

Thanks mate - heading down friday to see the progress will get some pics then. The cam isn't suited to FI at all so will loose a few kw's, been told by HPF that 380rwkw will be with eaze & baking the 20's at 100kph no probs & a high 10 low 11 pass. So I am happy with that, if I can't acheive that I will look into a turbo freindly cam. Don't really want to loose the lump of my cam (very similar to GMM TK cam) though.

Dropped it off with a mate to get the install underway. He's got a bit on so should be done by end of November. This summer the thing will be doing a few ks for sure. ---------- Post added 20-10-10 at 13:23 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by brawlr [View Post] Sounds like its gonna be a handful mate. and lol at a "turbo killer" cam in a turbo car! Yeah I reckon - hanging to get it on the road. Yeah when I 1st done the Head & cam it was NA all the way - then you get bored and want more. NOS was the next plan but I wanted a killer dose. When the turbo setup popped up couldn't refuse it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
