Also put it into a worn out engine recklessly, and its gunna kill it....

Re: New exhaust!!!

Re: Rev1 & Rev2 Turbo 440cc Injectors Capabilities

I don't get the Rev3 conversion either, I know it's relatively easy to do using all OEM parts, but I can't understand why people don't just fit a half-decent 2nd hand standalone system for the same amount of cash and a lot less time messing around. When you figure the cost of the Power FC into it, ...
