Idrees Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Steve, you clown, that's not a cross member! The cross member is the one that runs at the bottom between the 2 chassis legs.

ryan lang Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 so its a ct9 based hybrid then?im just asking around atm because i want to run between 220bhp-250bhp when my conversion is done, without the supposed 'lag' of the td04, and unsure on what turbo to go for to be honest, any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 yeah its a hybrid CT9 matewill be good for pushing 220bhp with all supporting mods etc at 1.3 bar boost with no lag at all reallydeffo worth it in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
