Good value for money the IX GT. Rare and loads of tuning potential. I believe the MLR had a white project car they were doing bit and pieces to, with write ups of it's progress in "Wastegate" the MLR magazine. 500bhp+ IIRC.

Is your turbo standard as I read somewhere that the magnesium blades (I think) can fracture.


My dealer commented on problems with the magnesium blades especially on the "group N" cars, he said they always change the blades on the cars they prep.

Yep, the GT is well known for its soft turbo, it will apparently go to 400 hp ish, then melt :shock:
so one of the first mods will be to get the turbo sorted, :twisted:

cheers,
Sumo.
