Here is the newest of my 05 l61 turbo!
She's been boosted for about 2 weeks and 2500 miles, yes I drive a lot, and she runs like a champ, don't know the horsepower yet, will get on the dyno soon, but its a blast to drive, the two last picture were from b4 the turbo swap

Nice!
Had mine out for the last couple days. The cool fall weather makes for most excellent boosting.
Haven't driven it too much the last couple weeks as I got a new company vehicle...

you guys think this will bolt up, or are the mounts different between models?

Well then I have no clue to be honest. I'd get pics of yours vs that one. Also what are you doing to boost yours. I have donkeyballs old EFR setup and a TTR intake manifold as well as a few other parts I'm getting. Don't have much more to get but keep buying other stuff for it.

Mines been garbage ever since I installed the zfr. I cant go WOT really. I have to roll into the throttle and that's the only way it really doesn't slip or feel retarded. I know of 3 other people who had problems with it and they are at the track constantly.
Sorry for jumping into the base model thread being as I own a LNF, but I got bored and I decided I'd see what was happening in here.

I would've definitely went with the spec 3+ or the fx300. If I had more money when I got my 4.45 trans I would have easily switched it out to some different. But I was in a tight squeeze and needed my car back asap. Next year though, I'm probably gonna step up to the plate and get one of them. Ya they are more moeny, but its a full ceramic disc and it comes with a new tob. So much easier for driveability compared to the puck designs and quick clutch releases from the ky series.

What is the best place to get internals from? Contemplating doing pistons & rods over the winter for next year so I can track the car without being worried about blowing it up lol
