So,

I have a decision to make.

I have two single turbs soarers and one needs to go.

Fist one is in my profile pic and has had a fair bit of cash chucked at it. It runs a t70 on a fresh engine and makes 200rwkw on 10psi. A very good start. However this car has a standard box and diff, and the suspension is rubbish.

The other is a FSG soarer very standard looking but has a 3076r with all the goodies on a very tired engine, but this car has a fully built box and LSD. Plus the suspension is fairly tight.

The question is should I pay to switch the boxes over onto the t70 powered car, or begin work on the more standard car.

There are some other factors too:

The standard looking car is far less likely to get defected and would be able to be driven more often.

The T70 powered car is nothing like a standard car and if I try to sell it I think I'm going to burn a lot of cash.

To switch the boxes over will cost me roughly 1500.

Both cars are capable of 300+rwkw so there is no advantage power wise to either.

So any thoughts.......

Swap all the good suspension/Box/LSD onto the t70 powered soarer and then wreck the other car?

Really struggling to decide which turbo kit to keep as well.

The t70 comes on faster but the 3076r pulls harder.

Yeah, plus the 3076 has ceramic coating on rear housing and is a bolt up flange.

What do you think I should ask for my t70 turbo kit?

None the less the turbo kit made easy HP. Modified tuned length manifold, oil feed & custom drain, custom dump pipe, 50mm wastegate,

Was thinking more like 1200-1500, Plus have a spare e-manage - probably sell that with both looms for 300.
