What does the gt17 feel like compared to t3 on similar boost levels? And what sort of power would it make compared to a t3 on similar boost levels? Chalk and Cheese The T3 builds up boost in a big lump at about 4k then kicks you in the back. The GT17 builds boost from low down the rev range and makes it pull like a train from low rev's.

Here's a poor quality vid of the dials etc. You can just see the temp gauge on the dash. That's temp at the plenum and it doesn't get above 30 degrees on the rollers. Show's the intercooler's doing it's job well.

I saw 36 degrees in that video. Still not too bad. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Man that blew some smoke out on the other vid... Loving the van 174 should be nice on the road... I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Yeah looking forward to it. However getting the launch right is somewhat of a challenge at the moment. So far we have managed driving miss daisy or clouds of tyre smoke! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'd have tohoght that it would be easier with more progressive lower boost build up.
