Yes this is a gt28.

I think the intercooler is a problem. I’m quite sure it is not working how it should be.
It is possible to feel the engine losing power at the track, after several laps.
I’m waiting for the mail to deliver a RMR manifold, probably will do some help.

I removed the SAI, n75 and others secondary components, the car still great.

Interesting about your spool issues, makes sense that the boost would have issues building in the system.

Nice work as per usual mate, maybe some of the boost is now restricted elsewhere? Are you still running the stock intake manifold?

Is the car smooth for street driving with the Flow controller and BOV in that config? I'm looking to remove the SAI system and keep thinking that the N75 needs to go, but I want to retain some comfort when backing off the throttle...

verry cool pictures mate!!
i love the rims and tyres, are those toyo R888's??
he just look high on his feet but it doenst mather as long as it proves itself :-p
are those 18" wheels??

so you have a forge IC and a GT28RS turbo?
i think i know what is going on...
Forge IC is more than good enough for the stock K03s, stock or even chipped.
it's even good for a K04-001 turbo.
but i don't think it can flow enough for the Garret you have? :-s
i could be wrong but i won't be surprised if this is the problem...

New pics... new wheels.... These are Enkei RPF1, 18x8 ET35, each wheel weights 8kg, 3kg less than Sparco wheels. LittleRedDevil has the same wheels!

Thanks, I enjoyed the pictures too, the photographers did a great job.

Yes, they are 18”´s and I’m using Toyo R888. I had lots of rubbing with this configuration, I had some damage under the fenders.

Yes, it is a GT28 with Forge intercooler and I think the intercooler is blocking the air.

I will test with a gauge before the intercooler just to see if it is true.

Sounds about right. I'd love to get a new cooler keeping most of the Forge Piping.
