I’ve seen it and heard it in person, it seems pretty mint, sounds like a beast. Personally I’d prefer to build my own 240 to my own personal tastes, but if you can nab one with an SR for a low price then it saves you a lot of hassle. On a side note, aren’t you that guy who was being a jerk a while ago? (i thought you got banned… guess not) ---

GTR turbos spool quickly… but I wouldn’t push it too hard. ---

gtr turbos are diesnged to flow air for a 1.3L each, it just doesn’t make much sence to put a turbo on a motor that is smaller than the stock t25 on the sr. ---

puttin a smaller turbo on a car gives you insane turbo response as opposed to the turbo made for it, smaller tubro also gives you better mid range torque and power falls short after mid RPM… and thats why Mazda gave the FD3S and sequential twin turbo small one til about 4000 RPM big on til redline ---
