yeh well initial budget was less but little things like boost controller and guage and FPR braided lines, heat sheilding, exhaust work, etc has bumped it all up a bit.

on the upper hand, if anyone in qld wants to turbo their fto they know where to go now - the place that used sam's car as a lab rat.

so thank you sam, for doing us all a favour, and i think wherever that did your work for you should be paying u for letting them use your car lol

i know there's a lot of post about turbo's and pics etc etc, i wonder if anyone could clarify what is a must to get it compliance?

eg. brakes, engineer cert, gearbox? etc etc

i doubt it has a enf certificate...check his initial post for details about what he upgraded.

6-7000 does not include clutch brakes etc. and i would expect normally this would cost a fair bit more (got 390cc injectors for like $190 and shopped around a lot)..
It will be engineered pretty soon.as far as i know, as long as there's no holes in the exhaust and everything is secure, etc, i shouldnt have a prob getting it eng.
Clutch is coming this month. Gearbox should hold up i think.. if not then i'll get a new one. as things go, i'll replace them.
