DAVITT Ben Davitt bought this white over silver series II calais in Thomastown 8 months ago. The car was already equipped with an intercooler and Xf-throttle, high flow T3/T4 turbo, 3in Mandrel bent exhaust. This work had been completed by Mark Johnson over at JPC. The low boost was set to 7psi and the switch could be flicked to switch the boost to the high boost setting of 12psi. Ben was happy with the car for a while until he got a little bored of the power, and with some spare cash that he had acquired, decided to give John and Danny Bresciani a call. The car was booked in for a service and service only (but we all know what happens when we get our hands on a little bit of cash!), so the service involved having the old computer upgraded with to a new Microtech. The boys then squeezed every last drop out of the standard injectors and standard fuel pump and the car performed a lot better with the boost now being set on a safe 15-16psi. The auto has received a little bit of Yarra-Valley magic with a 3200 rpm stall and stage II shift kit just too make sure the gears find there way. Ben then added the beautiful Simmons OM series rims to the car which he bought off a mate, and I must say that they look awesome. Ben would like to thank the boys from Bresciani Racing for all their help and work on the car. Further plans include T-66 turbo, external waste gate, 036 injectors, surge tank, Bosch fuel pump and adjustable fuel reg. This will all happen when I scrape up some more money, then the car will make it's way back down to Bresciani's for some more mods and a good tune. (c) 2003 www.calaisturbo.com (http://www.calaisturbo.com) Edited by sin. Pics and Info by Davitt Update 8/03 The car has since returned to Bresciani Racing and has been fitted up with some nice new additions. A brand new GT35/40 roller turbo has been fitted, as has 6 036 injectors. A preliminary tune made 230rwkw and they are hoping to reel off 250-260rwkw when tuning has been completed on the current setup. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
