    Honestly I couldn't recommend the TD Kit enough after I had a ride in a friends Avo car I knew I had to go FI at that point. The difference between Avo and TD is quite noticeable I think, the TD Kit comes on much sooner in the rev range and pulls smoother where the Avo seems to come on later and harder guess it depends how you drive the car but personally I think the TD Kit is perfectly suited for the 86

    Only just seen this haven't been that active on the forum just getting back into it. The Turbo Kit is absolutely immense cant believe how much its transformed the car, its amazing with what it keeps up with now and is a weapon on a B road now

    Interesting about the volume of your exhaust I'd have thought being catted would've kept the noise/drone down to a more tolerable level, hopefully the TD mid-pipe sorts out the issues you're having with it. Don't see any reason why it won't fit unless TD use custom fitment on their exhausts. The remap will give you so many features and improve the torque that'll make it a whole lot more drivable not too long to wait I've never been in an 86 on lowering springs but a lot of people use them so must be an improvement, but I can 100% recommend the Tein Coilovers its my favourite modification on the car I thought it was good before but this transformed it. Seems like you've got plenty of ideas though!

    😂 as always modifying a cars a slippery slope, with a platform like the 86 there's so much you can do I was originally going for a Cobra Resonated system however the Invidia come up at a price I couldn't turn down, if I'm honest with my current setup its brutally loud on full chat... Cruising isn't too bad but drone is a real problem on the motorway hoping the turbo quietens it down a little bit. I brought mine used so got a fairly good deal, Its transformed the car completely the standard suspension wasn't bad at all however the car just sat to high. I've dropped mine about 40mm and the handling is amazing now I'm running 2.5 degrees of negative camber in the rear at the minute need to get some adjustable lower control arms but am tempted to leave it as is handling is perfect the smallest steering input does so much more over stock.

    Newbie from Kent with an Orange GT86

    Hi Everyone! I'm Charlie from Welling, Kent. Picked up my 17' Orange GT86 a few weeks ago. Been browsing and lurking on the site for a while before deciding to pull the trigger and buy my GT86. I'm absolutley loving 86 life so far such a capable car in stock form, but already looking at the massive list of aftermarket parts that are avaliable for these cars! Hopefully can make it out to a few events and see what everyone else has done to their cars!

    Thanks for the tip with the exhaust Lauren! I've been looking at Non-Res at the minute but with the thought of going fully decat I'll start lookng for Resonated systems. I've only heard good things about the TD NA kit! Intresting point about the sound though about UEL vs EL I thought It was a big difference with getting the Subaru Burble.

    Newbie from Kent with an Orange GT86

    Ohh really? Small world... to be be honest I haven’t really noticed the torque dip at the minute but haven’t really driven it hard or at high RPM so that’s probably why I haven’t noticed it. However that being said I’ve never had a Jap car or a boxer engine only reason for thinking UEL is to get the rumble from the engine. Eventually want to go turbo but for now think I’m going to save for the Tuning Devopments NA Kit thats fair enough about the figures it’s not about the numbers more just about the driving feel on the road interesting point about the reliability of UEL though never thought of that I’ll do some more reading before pulling the trigger
