    Ah, TD05! Looks alright mate. The Greddy downpipes are known for being shite and restrictive but upgrades are available. Make sure the manifold has relief cuts or they can crack and I'd be interested to see what management it has. Could be a good base for higher power though.

    Phil, just reread this, a Greddy K26 kit? I've never heard of such a kit, any pics or links?

    Luckily tuning is easier than ever before these days, I do all my own.

    I'm not suprised it only lasted that long then, that figure is awful for that boost. The worst I've heard. You need to remember that the 1.6 engine was designed for a turbo and take to it very well if you set it up properly. On the 1.8 engine the highest I know is 323bhp on standard internals...

    It hasn't moved in a long time, had a custom made manifold for it, new custom exhaust, big brake kit front and rear, and lots of other things fitted. Got a track day in it next week.

    My MX5 runs 10psi, 230bhp using a k26. I will be taking that further, still on standard internals.

    Tragic loss to the starlet world : RIP Dave Burwash!

    I have experience in organising track days as you know, if this was to happen I'd be more than happy to help.

    Starlet insurance problem

    If you insure it as anything other than a Toyota Starlet GT Turbo, regardless of what it says on the websites or your V5 document, then you ate breaking the law and effectively have no insurance. If you can't afford the insurance then you can't afford the car. If all the websites come up as...
