Err all gtst's have a factory cooler. It just isnt that great. I ran my stock rb20 turbo at 1 bar with stock cooler for ages and it was fine. But it is a good idea to get a good frount mount if your going to push the boost up.

You can get a kit with everything incuded for about $1400, hybrid or HKS are good and around that price range. I dunno what your mate is smokin telling you to get a vr4 cooler?

Oh and typing in english also helps.

na been talking to my mate he said that the supra coolers flow pretty well but i been talking to my mechanic and he recons he can get a custom cooler kit with wich would be able to help the turbo handle 16 psi 4 around 1500 i thought that would be the better option than buying a cheep alternitive .

by the way has ne1 had a claim or is insured bye enthusiast car insurance there based in qld and due to me been only 18 and them accepting to insure me at 2600 per anum i thought it might be a bit dodgy

thanks

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
