Opinions on these mods
i think alot of the stuff is a little ott and i guess all you have done is copy most of the parts a few USA tuning companies do?? just a quick scan and a few strange ones ported manifolds stillen headers both the same thing well the stillen headers are for the NA and you wouldnt gain much from porting the stock manifolds i wouldnt go for a "chip" with a big setup like that, you want a fully stand alone ecu smithy hard pipe - wont be much good with the 700 turbos as there much bigger and wont be using the oem turbo pipework which the hardpipe kit goes to so would need some custom pipework making. So there are some major floors in the list but also some nice stuff, all OTT and if you added it all up including building the thing theres prob over 50k's worth of stuff and labour there Kirbz

very good amps for the money, i like the denon amps and the sound quality and poss even say its better than my top of the range yamaha!? i got rid of my denon 3802 to get the denon a1, huge beast of an amp and i mean huge monther of a thing but to be fair ive had no complaints about the yamaha amp so far apart from the remote is a little boring, i like my touch screen ones ;) Depending on my next house will depend on if i get another sub ;)

Big Boys Toys
Yep B&W Speakers and yamy amp, did have the denon a1 amp but when i got the plasma i wanted all the conections to be component and the denon amp didnt convert the sky etc into component but the new yammi does and i think the new denon does now but didnt a year ago lol I did have the big vibe home cinema sub but it was too loud and we live in a semi so not worth the hastle and the big speakers have enough bass but would have likes the matching b&w sub as it sounds amazing.

I did loads of research before i bought the plasma and i'm a sony'ite as well but when it came to plasma panasonic make the best panels by far, what i did is go for the business unit rather that the normal "funky'er" home model as its alot sharper and built better, well according to various places anyway lol Had mine now for 15 months and its not missed a beat, very happy and lets just say the x-box 360 via HDTV and 7.1 sound is just stunning ;)

Big Boys Toys
lol dont think i have any pics of mine left, i used to have a 9 foot screen with a projector on the ceiling but tbh it was a little OTT foro the room hence why i went for the plasma :) must admit i do miss it when the footy is on :)

i think my panasonic plasma has a life span of 60 or 80,000 hours so even if its 60,000 hours watching it 10 hours a day which it isnt it would last over 16 years lol tbh as long as it lasts 5 years i would have had more than my monies worth ;) Dont get me wrong for the money the sony 50 or 60 are great value and i did look at them Mike

noooo 42" is more than big enough for my room and i dont like the sony lcd rear projections as they still suffer from a narrow viewing area, better than the older rear projections but still no where near the quality of plasma, i also prefer the plasma to the latest big screen LCD's!! upto 32" then LCD but over that then a decent plasma still blows LCD away IMO The speakers need to be bigger ;) all thats missing is the sub to the system but the wife wont let me have it :(

Big Boys Toys
Well finally got all my home cinema stuff all wired up on my new plasma glass stand and i'm well chuffed, much better than the huge ikea unit i ised to have housing everything Cant see why everyone tells me i'm a big kid :confused: :D Mike

power estimate
Was the rebuild with forged internals?? if not then you can run more boost but your limited by fueling ie bigger injectors and standard internals dont like more than 1 bar for long and with bigger turbos you will be pushing more air at 1 bar anyway so next step to run bigger power is 555 injectors, remap, twin induction, and poss a forged rebuild Kirbz
