Maaaaaaaaaaaaaate... after using Yoko A008s you will never go back! They are just so much better, wet or dry. Particularly if you have lotsa HP, as we do! 8)

I guess you could spring for A032Rs- even better, but they shred too fast for road use, IMO.

cheers guys.... will invest in them as soon as the manifolds are all bolted up :lol:
new setup:
Facet 7psi pump into surge tank, VL turbo pump down new lines to malpessi turbo fuel reg (which the return runs down BIG pipes) and modified wbere for turbo.
Hybrid frount mount intercooler (the piping runs under the guards)
T2 turbo mount on custom side mount manifolds.
GFB blow off valve and boost controller

All i need is the manifolds to be finished and I will be tearing through tyres faster then you can say "what the...???"
