Yes, I used to have a license plate here in AZ that said "SFTYFST"(see attachment). I was shocked that nobody with a MG had taken it. It was in honor of the first car I bought, a '72 MG Midget. My Miata is honoring the memory, too. It has a slight tranny drip, just like the MG! There's a copy of the plate on a wall in the FM Offices. Now my plate says "IMFLYIN". |
I know 4 people with blown cars, and they're always fucking with belts / bypass valves / or some random bullshit...but they all think turbo cars are unreliable...even though I don't know what turbo car drivers keep in the trunk in place of belts.

Just in case. I actually have had a charge pipe come out of a coupler only once. It was my fault, I forgot to tighten the clamp. |

I think you'll like the turbo better. I had an m45 for a few years and it was nice. Very OE. Not like yours of course. But the turbo will allow you to "keep going" for more when 350 gets boring. :D

They were easy enough to replace and I always keep a spare belt in the trunk, but I then decided to wait for the ATI Damper before another track day.
I have a fluidampr pulley which is flatter and smother than the stock balancer, the SC pulley bolts to the flat face of the FD and spins an 8 rib belt, the alignment is perfect and the tensioner on my head unit very good, I don't have problems period. I would like to switch to a cog setup but oh wells. |

By the way they now have a GT3076 in the T25 exhaust footprint I believe (at least I believe ATP Turbo carries this.)
There is a god. |

Well I must say, the Turbo is a different beast! I've attached a Dyno run that compares the Uber to the GT3071R. It must be noted that I'm currently limited to 8psi due to the OEM fuel pump. As soon as I can get an upgrade we'll get into the semi-serious rwhp.
|
your 8psi and my 8psi are very not equal. .2L makes a nice difference.
|
no kidding - those curves are VERY similar IMO, except for the very low rpm torque. More boost will turn that turbo into a beast.
