the more I look, the less sense it makes! All that effort and a stock ic? but with a dv?

Yeah chrome is good, but it's all about the detail.

It's just money spent, no elbow grease. Easily removable parts chromed and stuck back on. ok so the rocker is polished, but the throttle body that needed to come off anyway, hasn't been touched?

oh and merry christmas :thumleft:

Yeah, it's pretty much (by the looks of it) a stock engine "blinged" up. Stock IC, and even the AFM!

Dump valve on a rev1 turbo engine [-(

Throttle body would have looked better chromed, yeah. And obviously sort that baggy braiding.

Merry Christmas to you too mate :D

Only just spotted this :oops:

Well it's certainly clean, not to my tastes really though. Too much of an all show and no go look for me and I reckon all that chrome would be the death of me. I have enough problems trying to stop the Carbotechs from making it look like it's parked in a coal mine 24/7 :lol:
