I bought this stock Berlina Turbo in Feb 05. It already had the Calais front on it and the white over silver paint job. Mods so far include: K&N pod filter. 3" mandrel bent cat back with hiflow muff. Pacemaker 3" front pipe. KEAS stage 3 shift kit. Trans oil cooler. Boosted to 12 psi. Turbosmart type II BOV. Oil catch can. Future mods include: JSPEC intercooler kit (ordered) Bosch 910 fuel pump (have already). Malpasi fuel reg. XF throttle body (have already). Installing ECU with stage II Chiptorque chip (then tuning). Bigger turbo and injectors. Custom plenum. KEAS 3 speed auto. I also plan to respray the current colours again and install a bigger set of rims. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I ran a 14.9 @ 98mph on saturday night. Rather slow but should improve with the new cooler and fuel pump in.

The tube is getting vaccum from the inlet manifold, not very hidden but it works for now. No this is a different car, I sold the high the 13's car to get a street registered turbo to do up. Should also be high 13's soon.

Went out last night and got the following on 12 psi. 1st 13.9 @ 101.8 Street tyred 2nd 14.5 @ 100.6 Streets, but tried stalling it up and smoked 1st and 2nd. 3rd 13.7 @ 103.2 Put on some retread slicks and dropped the cat. 4th 13.5 @ 102.9 Stalled it to about 2 grand after fairly warming the slicks. 5th 13.4 @ 104 Let her cool down for 30 mins, then stalled to 2500. Pretty happy over all, didn't brake anything. Best 60 foot was 2.1. Further plans include an under drive balancer, XF throttle body, electronic boost controller.
