its a standard kit with tuned emanage. he actually buy it from a mechanic here in sabah. the mec doesn't want to tell where he source the turbo from. but i did check, its on 0.4 bar. the mec say its direct from japan. but 3 days time to get that kit i think is not possible. so i guess is from kl. but the emanage is all tuned out from the box. turbo auto car is very different from turbo manual car. turbo auto, its like aeroplane, very smooth. turbo manual is all power. but its expensive, turbo kit + sqv 2 + labour = 20k
he did not inform me before buy, i thought he buy from wangan.

volks TE37 Magnesium, 5.6 KG only!, its the lightest by far
stock is 9.8 KG (which is considered quite light already)

Hamster on the wheel and autofoam
hi guys.. thanks for the info. yeah, the 'hamster on the wheel' noise started at about 25k km and is gradually worsening. Hav u guys found a solution for it?
I'm thinking its the T/O bearing but gotta be sure before I dismantle the trasmission assembly... or could it be solved with a higher viscosity transmission oil?
Hei, hav any of u hav experience with autofoam? is it worth the buck?Does it void our insurance policy?

Transmission oil has nothing to do with that sound...... Better send for a checkout before you damage the gearbox entirely....
AutoFoam is proven to help body rigidity and excellent sound proof...... Mazda even apply foam in limited edition RX8...... That's my next on my list.....

Lennon, u were right. our member's car were sent back for tuning yesterday. he say the problem is with the repeating boost. when u press on the acceleraration twice, the rpm gone down. but after a driving tune session whole day yesterday, its ok already. but it run on 0.6 bar tune. i try to tell the owner to tune it down to 0.4, but he insist its ok. i try to call the mechanic and ask whats wrong, he say the AF not ngam, i doubt that and he is not willing to give more detail.
anyway, what is autofoam?
