What's people's opinion on this kit over the TRD?

How much are these? Looks awesome!

What are those black oval things at the front of the bonnet? Like the idea of painting and leaving vents carbon but what about those black oval things?

Thanks Keethos! Yeah I can't wait! Your positive shift key, what's your opinion on it, seeing as you have it?

Ok so last few days (whilst eagerly waiting for my fensport appointment) I thought I'd do a couple of things: Installed a beatsonic arial to get rid of the original black thing! And also, ready for my turbo set up: A P3 gauge. Easy to install and looks fantastic. Functionality is also very good. Thank you to Tony at Fensport for sending. Next update will be when my car is with fensport next month!

Thanks guys! Helped me choose to see what the temps read when the turbo is being run and decide after.

Guys, Based on the turbo setup I'm going for, should I also be getting an oil cooler and uprated radiator? My car will only be used for road use, and even so, won't be used "to its full potential" 50% of the time. Tony at fensport said I shouldn't need them for what I'm using my car for, however I've also been advised differently by a member? Reason I'm asking is because if it's going to be a necessity and the difference between my engine blowing up or not, I need to find the extra money somewhere! Lol Any input would be appreciated

Mark, It will be FI. I'm getting the turbo fitted in august. It will be with the 3 bar map sensor. Not sure if I will need the oil pressure sensor or not? Definitely would want to read boost etc.

Mark, how much for the p3 gauge, the boost sensor and oil pressure sensor all in?

These still available for sale?

Ok guys so to go onto my ICE which I installed a few months ago. The set-up is as follows: Standard headunit signals out into... Audison Bit One DSP into JL Audio HD 900/5 amp which powers Audison Voce AV K6 2-way components in the front Rears are standard And I have a JL Audio GT86 Stealthbox made and shipped in for me. The amp, power distribution block, grounding distribution block, and the DSP is nicely out of the way and hidden in my own wooden enclosure in the cavity where the spare wheel would go under the boot flooring. Verdict? Frigging awesome sound set-up. Future plans? Install another JL Audio HD 900/5 amp. Install some bigger speakers to replace the rears. Consider installing 2.5" mid range speakers (the speaker grilles on dash have the capability for them already) Picture of the JL Audio Stealthbox in the boot...very OEM look.

Tell me about it! Just by interest, with the work fensport will do with the turbo etc, will the mpg change much in comparison to what it is now if the car is driven hard?

Thanks guys gives me a rough idea what I'm getting myself into! Spec K - challenge accepted!

Thanks Spec K. I think I will be in contact with mark at abbey motor sports sometime to get it on the dyno after it's done. Just out of interest, what kind of league should the car be in after the work is done? I mean are we talking astra VXR territory or bmw 335i territory or more? Fastest thing I've driven I think is a bmw 330i!

Lauren, my bad, it's a lightweight alloy crankshaft PULLEY. I have edited my original post apparently it's 1.84kg lighter than stock. The alternator and water pump pulley is to reduce weight and as it's oversized, it will reduce the water pump and alternator speed (without affecting reliability) to free more power to go to the wheels ... Don't think the extra power from this will be something to shout home about though. Pitman...that's just made me smile a little more now and even more eager for august to come round. Is there any 0-62 mph times around pre and post turbo? Rob275, sounds good. I'll keep my eyes on the events page and let people know which ones I come to. Sounds like a good laugh!

Keethos, thank you! I'll be sure to let you guys know my feedback. Must say though, far my dealings with fensport have been very good, albeit only planning my above mods over the phone with Tony. Nikndel I'll be completely honest - I've never been to any of the events. I may consider going to one when the kit is installed, and hopefully see you there along with some other guys from this site.

I finally have my car booked in to fensport for mid august for some work to be done: Turbo kit fitted Race breather system fitted Avo BOV Fidanza aluminium lightweight flywheel Helix uprated organic clutch and assembly Millers gearbox oil Millers nanotec oil Avo 3" exhaust from turbo back Lightweight pulley kit Lightweight Oversize alternator Lightweight Oversized water pump Lightweight crankshaft pulley Turbo boost valve Ecutek tuning with closed loop boost control Looking forward to the results! What are people thinking this kit will bring the car to in bhp? I'd want it at least 300bhp!
