Yeap, focusing on a good TCU tune now, then I will vbox again. Flex fuel is on the cards, if APR releases something also. I’m wrapped with the IS38 performance, going from 6.5s to 4.3s is a phenomenal performance increase. I’m waiting for you to go hybrid is38 to see whether anyone can break into the 3s.Quote:

Yes I’m looking for best bang for buck and with the end point in mind I think that hybrid or snail turbo is the way to go.Quote:

So someone may beat me to it....

That’s what I told myself, to wait until the first service.....After coming off a K04 Tig, the 162 didn’t have much mojo....so got it tuned at 1500km with stage 1 and then now at 9500km (9 months ownership) I have the IS38. I am weak for mods.........hope you can last the 12 months.Quote:

That's a great buy for such low KM. We can rebuild it and strap a pair of Garrett GT42s to the side to make some real power...Quote:

If I’m lucky they may even shoot some flames. Lastly, I’ll put a lift kit on it, it needs to look a bit more menacing. My little one has inspired me to paint it like Blaze and the Monster Machines.
Great, you’ve just volunteered your driveway or garage now to do the build with Inasnt and I....I hope you don’t mind us borrowing it for 12 monthsQuote:
