I won't tell his girlfriend about you two alright :p

So we are going to hit the track in Jan 08?

yeah man! setting the car ..Tim the gaylord teaching me how to drive...=)

So time went the T28RS, that's a nice turbo ;)
I was thinking of that one also but its not cheap! the turbo is like $1,500 on it own.

I know of another 4 that you have not listed and i know there is alot more

Tim's turbo is actually a GT28 or disco potates as he told me tonight.

I am happy to know there are at least four turbo civics in Sydney. How many are there in OZ hey? I think more and more poeple will turbo their civics.

There are lots and lots of turbo civics ruinning around Sydney... Ive personally seen about 20. Probably not even half of whats out there.

One of the reasons i quit. Not unique anymore :) But they are cheap to build, and make good power in a light shell. Bang for buck!

Not being unique doesn't bother me. My goal is build it within a reasonable budget and have fun with it, probably make some friends along the way as well.

Unique means $$$$. My savings is being used to increase my investment portfolio as this becomes a top priority when you reach my age:p

Yes, that GT28 turbo is not cheap. But still better than throwing the whole XS kit like I just did! I don't even get to enjoy it before kissing it goodbye.

I guess for RedVTi, unique means having a turbo setup with decent performance (power) at a reasonable budget something easy for the masses. If RedVTi succeed in making a decent turbo setup, or a "unique" one, he may just get a first customer =)
I guess Weq u shouldn't quit, in fact u could be unique or different by going an alternative route from what you've been seeing? Supercharger? Twin charger? Twin turbo? =)

yeah i just got the T28R instead, yeah my bad calling tim, time.
Just make sure you use a proper garrett and you will have less problems, none of those immitation crap

I am waiting for Tim to chop up the XS dumppipe and my new Skyline dumppipe so they can be welded together. And also install the water cooling lines for the Skyline turbo.

So in the meantime, let me post more pics of Tim's weapon.

This is what should I have done in the first place and not wasted money on ebay kit especially when I have already got a few spare turbos.

What's Time beast put out REDVTI?
