Turbosmart DV

[LEE69]

Yeah about the same, i just want to compare them both on one car.

 

[Seat Gooner]

found any difference in them, are they the same shape and design how much do the gfb cost

 

[LEE69]

GFB costs loads over £200 new
But i have never had one fault code because of it.

Turbosmart should be here tomorrow, have screwdriver ready

 

[Seat Gooner]

Crist mate over £200 :O ha ha get it on and you wont take it off

 

[kineticz]

My turbosmart came with a blanking plug which I have not used. What is it for? Does it need to be used at all?

Thanks

 

[LEE69]

You take of the"trumpet" and you loose the "dump noise"
Just got my turbosmart to try now

 

[kineticz]

Oh so best not use it then

 

[RobDon]

The blanking plug can be used to make it either fully recirculating or fully atmospheric.

 

[LEE69]

Oh so best not use it then

If you want it louder leave it in the drawer

 

[kineticz]

In the drawer it goes I've got the twisty part of the valve nearly full recirc but slightly atmos for that sound. So atm it's like 90\10, and still loud as fook.

 

[LEE69]

Not put mine on yet.

 

[kineticz]

Let us know how you get on with it. Have you got it already? It takes like 2 mins to replace, what's the holdup

 

[LEE69]

Yeah got it today bloody useless post office tried to deliver but never left a card.
Having a drink mate, and i know i will want to test drive it
So yours is level with the red ring?

 

[kineticz]

Yeah it's virtually flat to the ring underneath it, only say 2mm gap twisted towards soft. Before I had it 50/50 but that seemed to drink loads of fuel so MAF weren't too happy I suspect

 

[LEE69]

Shall try it tomorrow

 

[kineticz]

It's a super sound, I especially love the chatter at low speeds letting off the throttle

 

[Seat Gooner]

Its great i love mine

 

[Hilla LCR]

I too love mine

 

[LEE69]

Went to fit it and the bloody stubs are bigger than the TIP

 

[JamJay]

Did you get the 25mm one? Or is 25mm just for LCR
