WTA> whats the different between v8 v-limited and normal v8
bro newbie in subaru here..
whats the different between normal sti v8 and sti v8 v-limited?
Gt3076
Hi buddies,
anyone have the GT3076 turbo size? like compressor & turbine fin? which turbine housing is good for upgrade T25 or T3?
as i'm planning to get this turbo for my next upgrade.
Thanks,
Rb26 R32 in Motortrader
Is that Jebu's car?
