Considerably faster than our previous supercharged packages and will be cheaper for sure

Unless those headers are ceramic coated......although they don't look it?

Look good but when are you going to get a TT Speed Six up and running??????

OK Dom, I want this, in fact I really want this.

Turbos are definately the future.

Questions:

1) Are there any compression/piston changes required?

2) It looks like the Lucas distributor is still in place, surely a turbo instalation would really benefit from a mapped spark to control detonation?

3) In the photos the AFM is missing, I guess that means I would need to cost in a different ECU?

Actually cost is the key, it seems to me a turbo instalation has the potential to be significantly cheaper than a supercharger.

Dom, basically you are teasing us here.

What you have shown us is really exciting, but can we afford it?

HOW MUCH?

Thats the real question we all need an answer to.

If it's affordable you can put me down for one straight away.
