You've seen my car Frankie, nothing goes on/in it without it being 100% what's the chances of picking up a mint 18T, at the least it would have to be refurbed big pennies I'd guess.

**Nealevo** · Tuesday 19th February 2013, 19:20

Just having mine done at turbo centre £280 all in

**T5frankie** · Tuesday 19th February 2013, 19:23

turbo dynamics quoted me £195 +vat for a full rebuild

**V70 Graham** · Tuesday 19th February 2013, 19:28

.....then there's a remap, I take it my current one would be no good for an 18T

Been reading this tread with interest, Graham you made the mistake of smoking the crack pipe of power by going to the RR, you are now addicted, only known cure is to spend all your money on mods

Seriously though do you really need the extra power which you will only see at the top end and from peoples comments you dont go there lol, the 16t is a great turbo and pulls well low down where you need it day to day

Save your pennies and come to more meets/ 1/4 miles with the money saved and just enjoy the motor

Trying to organise a shift swap so I can come up on the 24th Mar, I would imagine as a spectator this time.

I'll also have to try and get in as many cars as I can this year to give me an idea what can be achieved.

Your welcome to have a go in my car sometime, just as a comparison between a small turbo engine and a big n/a engine.

...And a gearbox and a bag of rubber bands...

I'd happily run you out in Betsy when she's finished. Show you what daft really is.

If not I doubt the s60r would have produced reliable results. (Being haldex and all)

Spoke to Mike and Keith at Power Engineering today, apparently they have never had a problem with V70R/S60R but the dyno is NOT linked

It will run and wont break anything. S60Rs are weird and will end up power juggling between the front and back therefore the results will likely under read

Given that my car has no choice - I'd say it's entirely down to me.
