My Project

[gtmatt]

looking good, i want to see how you do the bootlid badge. What size is the exhaust side of turbo and what boost are you planning on running?

The badge paint was match to old colour then my sprayer has masked letters ,we tryed the spray and wipe test but did not work pics to follow.

The exhaust side is .49 I think lol, the boost I will be running is 20psi aiming for 200bhp or just below ,285cam also fitted
