Insurance wont care if its a peashooter turbo or a big T04B a turbo car gets
higher premiums full stop. If I undertsand what you meant by not change
turbo and ECU to mean using the GTX stuff then you can get 11psi and then
the ECU will cut the fuel. A 3" is too big if you dont plan to up the turbo you
wont be able to control/reduce boost so boost control is done by lifting up the
right foot which I can tell you is a bugger I always hit boost cut.
I was just saying to Jimbo driving back from the gong this arvo as I was
chucking it round corners and boosting in the straights that I still love my
car its a great mix of handling and nippyness.
