Nice, low boost turbo, quick spool up, should be very quick on the road.
But standard brakes..............

yeh my mate sprayed it, he owns his own custom paintshop, if anyone wants any work doin lol.
The bonnet has been done in a Marble effect, it looks good in the flesh.
The standard brakes are easily enough, i orginally thought they wouldnt be but I have been told they are easily enough.
Its running 18 p.s.i at the moment but im guna get it set up at 24 p.s.i

I have been assured that the engine on this 5 is rather strong due to all the parts Rob (who built it up) are all top quality and the set-up will assure it dont go POP.

Cheers Iain, Yeh thats my old focus, i really miss that car.
The corsa that is in the pic was for sale on here, that was a really nice corsa aswell and the yaris on the end was the first 1.0 turbo and was featured in redline I believe.

Yeh Baskey there are. I think they would have been upgraded if they weren't good enough.

Why turn up the boost if the cars running well though and doing good times?
Putting a lot of extra stress on the engine. And how much "USABLE" power would you get by just wacking up the boost?
R5GTT standard brakes, and u've been told they are ok Errrrrrrrrrrrrr, triple the power, but the brakes are fine, honestly

I thought it was and i have also seen that one in the flesh. Used to have dimontes (sp) down the side. That also is an awesome car. The only 2 i haven't seen are yours and the corsa.

The car was orginally set to 24 p.s.i by the guy who built the car and was perfectly set-up.
The guy bought it after turned the boost down as he was scared of blowing something up and just wanted it to be more reliable. I will be taking it back to Rob who built it and get him to set it all up again perfectly.
Seriously the brakes are good enough, i honestly asked the same question too.
I have just found out it was 300bhp last time Rob had it dyno'd before he sold it lol
OOOOOO I CAN'T WAIT
