How's the spool with the s148?

Good evening Ryan, we do offer repairs and upgrades on customer supplied CT20s yes, but we don't supply them outright. The are fully rebuilt with steel exhaust turbine wheel, a larger 71mm billet compressor wheel, cutback exhaust turbine blades and uprated bearings and seals. Aswell as all the neces...

Which specific variant of the GTX28 did they have? There's loads of possible combinations which will give varying results! Not 100% sure to be honest. Spoke to midlands turbo who apparently do a faster spooling version of the s148. Based on a ct20. Can do over 400bhp too. Comes in at £800ish all in.

Somebody on faceache showed me this, it's way to expensive. My goal is just drivability. Jaaaaaaaash on here says his GTX28 is a bit laggy. I gues the only way to have an mr2 actually drive like an mr2 is to have it stock with bolt ons :( My goal really is drivability though. It's all well being abl...

Looking at a bolt on turbo whats available? S148 looks great but hearing conflicting info on how it spools. Basically I want the car to drive more or less like stock but with some extra oomph. On paper the s148 looks fantastic.

Any other options?

Cheers dude.

Ah well the plot thickens! My CC system decided to randomly stop pumping water after a faultless 8000 miles, turned out the little valve on the pre-rad was open slightly. Blew a load of hot air into the engine and either burst the head gasket or cracked the block. So away to whip engine out this wee...

I totally agree man. I could sell mine for £10k no problem but other than the power it's not great to great on todays roads. There's nothing that hasn't been changed on it and all parts are under 8000 miles old yet my wee audi A3 is far nicer to drive. In fact, There's loads of 90's cars that are fa...

The rev 5 turbo on that list is repaired and has 272000 km I mean who on earth is going to buy that? it will be bought by an importer/trader, given a hair cut and sold onto an unsuspecting buyer, probably. If you look for a high grade low mileage rev 5 turbo you'll see prices are on the rise. Price...

I'll get some this weekend. Videos never do the feeling of how it drive any justice though but I'll get some anyway!

Still following this!

Wahay! Back on the road. Fitted another shaft and my rattle is gone! So it was obviously coming from the shaft somewhere. Good to have it back on the road

Whaaaaaat!!!! Long time no see!!i remember this car!! So good to see it back!!

Yeah just to be clear i'm not suggesting you run without coolant. Just saying that I currently do

It's been my daily driver for a year now in fact, My wheels could do with a refurb again!

Ah ok. I understand now! It's lovely man! Occasionally wish i'd left mine stock(ish). Thank you :) Yours looks great though?! :thumleft: Ih yeah I love it. But once you cut the rear arches there's no going back haha. To be fair I wouldn't change it back if I had the option. I just often forget how ...

Same pretty much. Last winter was mild so i had no issue. I was always very aware of it not having any coolant in it though.
