Hi Akat.

We are really keen on ordering one of these turbo kits.

Just a few questions.

1. How much boost are you running on a daily level?
2. Are you running a front mount intercooler or have are you running a top mount with a modified bonnet.
3. How long have you been driving the Picanto Turbo for?
4. You mentioned that the turbo was a Garrett. Are all the rest of the parts of a high standard (ie Tial BOV etc)

Give me an email if you dont want to discuss on the forums.

Cheers,
Ross

Ok Kasandrich, But The Point Is Not That This Car Is Fast Like Civics Or Supras Or So, Is The Fastes In Hes League And Model Ok? We All Know That It Is A Little Economic Car, Thank You For Your Reply.

Hi Rosco.

1. on the daily level, most of the time running not more than 0.5.. but at max we state to 0.8bar?
2. front mount intercooler - VR4
3. dont remember dude
4. not garret anymore... we r change into Starlet GT Turbine, with custom made ECU, VR4 intercooler, and no wastegate, just using internal wastegate

Cheers,
Akat
