I have just had a quick look and there are about 10 of them, 4 brand new t4`s a couple of new take offs that are t3`s and a lot of second hand smaller ones probably from 2ltr ish engines.

CORE he he ......wish I could get packages like that, I think if I was looking for even more mo farrah the T3/T4 would have been perfect but I am obviously set up for T2 (GarretT28) and even more so because of the custom down pipe I had to re model ....will send a piccy of my buggered one so you can see if any of the 'little uns' look similar ......looks like you are going into the re-core or intercooler trade lol
cheers Bob

Good news guys....I is back on the road again and I am shocked to say that the chinky tub I got is actually better than the Garret I had and at only 1Bar, I had some hesitation around 5k before that is now gone and pulls really smoothly right up to 7k so I am delighted so far.
Bob....I will get the photo of my old tub up when I find me bleedin camera.

Ok...not been doing much tinkering lately as I have been having a whale of a time blasting allover the place and really enjoying the roadster, I cannot believe how well it handles 2nd and 3rd gears are absolutely evil, but thanks to my early decision to try and keep a bit more weight at the back end has paid off in terms of traction of which it has heaps but can be easily made to let go when I want it to and not when IT wants too.
The only mod I have done is halorize my headlights with some very bright led rings which were a perfect fit over the glass lens, I have them wired in to be daylight running lights which seems to be the craze at the mo...you will have excuse the fly splats.






Will be taking the car off the road at the end of the month so if the NERDS fancy a get together ...perhaps with mine and Davey Bolams car as well, it might benefit those still or intending to build. I am sure there will be one nice day/weekend left in this month.

ok I will leave you with a puzzle ....the following templates will lead to an addition to my roadster......see if anyone can guess.
