What's the best/biggest battery...?

What's the best and most reasonably priced battery you can fit in a mk2 rev3 mr2 turbo?

Re: eBay downpipe + support bracket...any good?

I think the berk one looks like a good option...£160 from gtschris and includes support bracket and flexi

Can't see anything as good as that for a lower price...unless I get an xspower with support bracket :-k

So does the eBay fan mount directly to the gtschris shroud plate? Or is a bracket required?

eBay downpipe + support bracket...any good?

Is the ebay downpipe plus a support bracket from KO racing or the like any good?

I mean a 3" pipe is a 3" pipe...the main thing i'm concerned about is durability...

Will the eBay one rust/break with the support bracket? (real experience answerz...no hypothetical ebay hate pweeez :D)

Re: Bestest cheapest sidemount intercooler...?

I just want a quick/easy/cheap solution that I can fit myself and is better than stock...hence the IC rather than CC route...If I was to upgrade from a SMIC in the future it'd have to be for a boot mount anyways :) After some more googlings...Steve-O your right...the CXRacing one has the same core a...

Re: Bestest cheapest sidemount intercooler...?

Not keen on the st205 route as a smic will be easier to set up...

This is the CX racing IC from the US...

Does the XS power or eBay one have the same core thickness? I used to have a Phoenix power and the core was like 30cm deep :-k

What's the going price on a rev3 turbo...?

Its been a while since I've scoured the market, so was wondering what the going price was on a rev 3 turbo?

e.g. with say 70k miles, basic stage 1 mods, plus suspension?

Would I be far off in saying about £3500-£4000? or has it dropped more?
