    The psyical bootlid is ok.... Fitment wise... The bumper and plate surround haven't been polished this year... They will match perfect as the paint is out the same tin... Custom Fabricated Mounts... Eventually.... Cheers Lew!

    Thanks for the kind words fellas... @Rbz. - On the glanza, the top light support bracket is flimsy as fuck, was never any strength there anyways. The bar that goes just under the lights, is again very flimsy. The bottom square bar is where the strength is. Which has been replaced with a stainless steel bar. So although it doesn't look it, its stiffer then it was before. But as said above, the suspension mountings are the crucial part here... Regarding the turbo blanket, just hugs the turbo (nice tight fit if you get the right size) and two big springs hold it in place. Easy Peasy! Look

    My Garrett is on a race-tech manifold that isn't braced... Not had an issue in 3 years... If you use decent grade stainless steel, there is no need for a brace.... If you saw how they were made, and how much abuse they are to make (drilling and cutting them). Going thru disc and drill bits all the time... Youd understand why they don't need a brace ;)

    Was about to rip you then for having an automatic... However, having a leg that isn't up to the job is a perfectly adequate excuse You will get a good deal too, auto starlet turbos generally go for 50% less then manual ones! Welcome to UKSO, its a good laugh on here, hope you enjoy your stay! Have a nosey around for some ideas for your tinkering!

    kidv is running one... top mounted... http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/57630-kidvs-sta2let-big-phat-dirty-blown-update-180813/ In terms of coldside and core... there is next to NO difference compared to a TD04L... The exhaust wheel however is ALOT smaller, so the spool will be a lot better!

    Another item I can fully recommend and fresh out of china.... Turbo Blanket Went for a drive in my car, could no longer see the heatwave coming out of the vent in my cruise bonnet and could still touch it after a few tickles of boost. I am gobsmacked. How they hold the heat in so well and how they don't catch fire. Is Impressive! Can fully recommend these for anyone with a top mounted turbo kit, that's for sure!

    Got something unique that will outperform cars that are worth over £100,000 Not a bad deal tbh... However spending £6k on a civic without boosting it I don't understand ehy burny

    Let me just bring to your attention a few results and points Mr D..... Firstly. string and aaddzz123's starlet GT's... String pulled 242.9bhp on Monster Motorsport's Dyno before TD bought it off them... (Dyno Dynamics Roller) aaddzz123 bought the turbo kit off String, and got his car mapped on another bone stock 4efte on the same ecu, and pulled 242.3bhp... Secondly, Hawwy's Glanza.... Hawwy bought a black glanza from hough39.... Spoke to hough39, his car pulled 313bhp at 1.3bar on a dyno dynamics roller It went into to race-tech and pulled 303bhp at the same boost and on
