£420 is a ridiculous price for the revo.

Its no different to the APR price.

It looks very nice especially with the shield.

I'd pay that if I didn't already have the APR.

Overall its improved low down and mid range power.  Holds boost for longer.  Peak maf before and after is identical to the old kit at 275 g/s but peaks higher throughout the rest of the rev range.

Looks and fits great too and to show a gain against the other best kit on the market is good news to me.

So has Mike ordered one yet then  :laugh:

When are you going for a bigger turbo then, everything else is ready to go isn't it :party:

Anyway will it be Gt28 or GT30 series

After June.  Gtx3071 will be going on along with another engine I'm building.

Got a new twin plate clutch setup being made which needs to be done before June.

So that must be around 500Hp+ then?  Standard valve train or will you be raising the limiter and getting some uprated kit on there?

I want your car lol, ill do you a swap  :innocent:

I'm running the Revo intake aswell had it on for 2 weeks now and very pleased with it.

IMO yes it looks like a great piece of kit... but if you already have a.n.other intake (ITG,Twintake,Evoms) then theres little point in changing unless you defecate money.  :happy2:

They are 370mm brembo discs on fully floating bells.  The calipers are Brembo GT Senior 4 pots which have the same piston sizes as the TTRS calipers.  Check out the Facebook page for some more details and pics.  Ready in approx 4 weeks.

What was wrong with the R8 calipers, Alex?
