Afraid so.

It looks like an XS power manifold so will come with all the associated issues, the intercooler doesn't look very well designed and there is no brand name or details for the wastegate.

It's just the ratio's.

The V161 has shorter ratio's and was, I believe, only ever fitted to the NA car. It's as good a box as the original V160 if you are happy with the different ratio's.

Thanks for the link, have that on my Xmas list so may get lucky

The GT is going very well, nearly 4000 miles now and makes the daily commute a lot more enjoyable. Still don't see that many on the road even though Toyota have sold a few now.

Any joy with the hunt for a new Supra?

That's a positive to have a car that's a rarity. I ve not seen one on the road yet either Toyota or Subaru! what are the differences between the 2 manafactures? I am in no rush to get the soop dont get me wrong if the right car came along at the right price I would get it. Gonna put my 350z up for sale this week I am concidering getting a run around for 6 months to save a bit more I want to geta vvti again and they are a bit more expensive and want a mint one so might have to save a tad more but when I ve got it we should meet, do you still go to japfest or JAE you prob dont live to far from me I am in Kent j4 of the m25

The only difference between the two is the cosmetics (front bumper, front wing inserts) the intereiors and the spring rates. Most of the parts on the Toyota have Subaru stamps on them, ironically even the Toyota badges on the wheels ! All cars are actually built in the Subaru factory.

I'm not attending any of the shows at the mo, as have had a big house refurb this year and then next year hoping to get some track days done in the MR2. Have some fun without worrying about the BIB !

Good luck with selling your 350Z, they are a nice car so shouldn't be too hard although i'm not sure what the market is like for them.
