Nice one steve 👍👍

I generally wouldn't expect it to be bumped unless it fell off the first page of the for sale forums.

Dont know the standard bore but yes, that will fit fine.  I only have an overpipe and berk hfc.. Rest stock.
 

Just a quick post to thank Mark and Scott at Abbey. Service has been second to none.
I installed my sprintex myself at home and came across a couple of small hurdles which were quickly resolved with Marks help through emails.  Maps were sent to me, then data logs sent back (more than usual due to the hurdles i experienced!), timing of which went above and beyond good customer service.
Visited again today for my final map and am very pleased once again. Have always felt welcomed and will definitely come again for further work. even though ive clearly spent next to nothing compared to some other customers it doesnt detract from service recieved.  
Thanks, top job 👍

As the idiot that I am, I have realised that I've got my project build in the Modification section of this forum. So I am now creating this new one to continue.
My old thread: http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/2017-adamjs-gt86/?page=1
I have only recently had a AVO Stage 3 Turbo installed onto my GT86, along with the 3" AVO Exhaust System with a few extra goodies - an uprated fuel pump and injectors, P3 gauge and oil cooler all carried out by the wonderful Fensport, Its running approximately 320bhp - 330bhp, as far as you can go without Forged Internals.

I absolutely love it...obviously. If any of you are quibbling over whether to go down the route of forced induction I highly recommend it, It transforms the car. As the BHP of my car has gone up, so has my immaturity when driving it. Dropping down a gear, and putting you foot down unleashes this chaotic concoction of power, whosshhing noise and terror. As childish as it sounds the noise of the dump valve is also extremely pleasing to the ear. And knowing that you have the power to keep up with the Porsches and cars that are in the £60K plus bracket, gives you that confidence on the road / track. 
A few pictures of the install that Fensport were kind enough to take for me:





I love how not 'in your face' these modifications are. Upon lifting the bonnet, the AVO turbo doesn't bulge out and scream "I'M HERE!!" complete with multi luminescent colored pipes and leads. It is very subtle, anyone who doesn't own this car and not mechanically minded wouldn't probably realize it has a turbo, which is something some people like and some not. Me personally, I love that fact it is so stealthy modded (apart from the wheels and spoiler of course), but performance wise, no one would really know. The intercooler is black, which doesn't stand out. The P3 gauge is hidden in the drivers air vent, and the engine bay isn't cluttered. 
 
The AVO 3" Exhaust system complements the turbo, with a deep rumble upon start up, and when pushing the revs the noise is loud and pleasing. However there is none of that droning noise on long journeys. And when you get that turbo pop, It's beautiful (I wonder if there is the odd chance of a flame?). A few times I've caught the odd pedestrian off guard as the exhaust pops, watching them cr@p their pants, looking around to see where the noise has come from.
 
Ooooo Shiny...
 
As recommended by Adrian at Fensport, I've lifted my coilovers to a sensible height and had the wheels aligned, this has improved the handling no ends and made the car a lot more practical. Now I can even get over speed bumps.
The only issue as mentioned that I've had recently is a slight grinding / transmission noise when the revs have been dropping between 3,000 and 2,000 RPM. However I will pop over to Tuning Developments and RRG on Tuesday to see what they think.
My car plan was to have a GT86 N/A for a few years, and then possibly look at a second hand R8. I've delayed this plan by going for the Turbo and I haven't looked back. To me this car handles like a supercar, and now has the performance to go with it!
  

Couldn't find this link already posted on here, should help a few if not already seen.

Pic of your car on the sunday service news thread 👍  ... But you probably already know!

Ah, So that's what you look like.. On my phone you look like mike brewer in your avatar! 

But don't forget, you can cast at high pressures too.. We cast alli at work with ~900 bar metal pressure..
Forging is performed when the metal is in semi solid state? (And you can cast semi solid state too to confuse things even more!)

Guess i can go a bit wider now when funds permit now the s/c is coming first!

Thanks for your replies. Square set up on the wheels it is.. Still want the looks though so was thinking possibly 9j all round then with 225 tyres to match the trd spec.. I really want to heep the handling characteristics as i mainly wanted this car as its a drivers car.. First mods planned when i actually get the car are wheels, tein coilovers and toms tail lights.
An to lauren, yes i was in imoc. Username was dansrev2turbo.. Thought i recognised your avatar..
Heres some pics of the old 2 which i still miss to this day, taken at wra2
