Extremely impressive car!
How did you get the plenum opened? I couldn't open mine even when I took the bolts off.
Also, do you think those valves there caused power loss?

It certainly is a mint example.
Oh & btw BJ, you say you're going for dual 044 pumps, I got one for sale...

Too damned noisy for my in-series setup. You'll be fine if you're doing surge tank though.

Wow that's an amazing FTO!
May I ask how much you paid for it back then? I can't see it having been cheap!
You've done some amazing work to it

Re: Bjs turbo Version R fto
Daaayyyuuummmm.
Have they dropped or what!
33000 AUD is 43200 NZD
a good condition GPVR with about 70000Km on the clock is now about 5000NZD
So they have dropped about 38000 NZD since you have bought it
