Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Which EBC pads?

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Fitting turbo radiator on an N/A?

Ive got a turbo rad on mine and the hoses fit fine.. the radiator is slightly wider too. As for the fans, im not sure about the mishimoto shroud being "plug and play" but they are very simple to wire up using the plugs from the original fans, just cut off the old plugs and solder onto the ...

Re: Turbo or na

go off condition rather than spec, id rather have a nice well maintained N/A than a battered turbo, I have driven a rev 1 and rev 2 N/A and a rev 1 turbo on circuit and road and they are both just as fun to drive as each other they just have different perks

Re: Best insurance policy for under-25s

alot of insurance companies dont recognize turbos if you get a quote online and you will find it will be quoting you for an N/A so be careful

Re: N/A accelleration

I think the rev3-5 engines do lack torque lower down the rev range compared to Rev 1-2, I think Hurley Racing do an ACIS spacer that improves the low down torque by increasing the volume Inside the plenum
