Very clean! You might want to put a turbo blanket over the turbine housing. It will keep the heat in a lot.

I would tell you to get the gotham racing blanket but I believe they're closed now : What size turbo is that anyways? Very clean setup man! That makes me actually want a 3rd gen. Not to many do that for me.

Thanks man.It's the T78 setup.I didn't know gotham were closed
Didn't wanna go too nutsy with the wide arch kit and the massive wing and all coz I like the curves the fd has as it is and I love the 99 rear wing.It's simple but pleasing on the eye aswell!!!!

the holder is only for RHD vehicles..
as is alot of the other cool JDM stuff..


Tail whipper

didn't your T78 kit come with the Heat shield?

it's better than nothing till u find a turbo blanket..

you can also try wrapping the downpipe as well..



btw.. how is the spool up and and power band on your T-78?

Having needed a rebuild aswell I couldn't afford a brand new turbo kit so I got it 2nd hand from japanland at a great price but it didn't come with the turbo heat shield,air intake and the turbo to intercooler elbow pipe.I am gonna source a blanket though.I'm still puttin the mileage up on it since the build so have another 1000km to put up before dyno and mapping so stay tuned.

That t78 setup should kick all sorts of *** in the HP department! Yeah anything 99 spec, to me, is pleasing to the eye, not to mention that hood looks fantastic on an fd Keep us updated on the power you get with that turbo

Thanks man.Love the 99 spec stuff.My fd is a 91 jdm fd and nearly everything in it has been changed to 99 incl 99 lights front and back and rear wing.Hopin to get figures in the 400's without runnin too much boost.Keepin the rpms below 4krpm for safety reasons so not gettin to feel the kick up the *** yet with the turbo.I'll have some dyno figures early in the new year......

I probably will have them since they're all together in a box for you . I'll ship everything out once I get the payment. The car really looks good, it's nice to see more than just the avatar!
