Loving it so far. Liking the way they decided not to go with the normal Sti engine conversion and tried something different.

i'm not really big into cars but part 6&7 were a pretty interesting watch, no chance i'd have the patience for doing that kind of work!

Great viewing

That seems a very skilled guy that done the work. Great standard etc. Odly enough, something just tells me in australia things get done better. Than here.

They used the wrong fuel line clamps :p

Can't say it's any better than the work I've seen tuners here/in England carry out?

Well I know they build very good skylines over there and have great success mapping on unopened engines.

ps ive allways wondered why big snail'd scoobs run the turbo in the standard place. when you have the clutch and brakes there.. and the steering column?

why not run it on the passenger side? lol

cuz gettin the air to it would be monumental heartache with the battery there and all the fuel lines , and if you relocated that then you would still have to get the downpipe around the gearbox as the gearbox cradle curves on the driverside to allow for it.

Great watch, watched them all on Saturday after @Gobsheene liked one of the videos on Facetube. It's a shame it'll be a few months before they show what power it makes after mapping.

That Turbo Yoda (Alan) guy is a gent , and seems like a genuinely knowledgeable guy. i was very impressed, as above i just found ep.1 on fri night by accident and ended up chaining them all till well after midnight , fantastic watch ! ep.7 was class, and looking forward to seeing where they go with it next

Looks like it's going to be a laugh. Can't wait

i know all this.. just looks alot simplier than the brutal heat around the fluid and bottles

but then again my RA was standard ish so never reallly gave it any real thought
