Thread: GT2052S project thread number three
Post: RE: GT2052S project thread number three

Thread: GT2052S project thread number three
Post: RE: GT2052S project thread number three
| It's not really opening a lot, it just opens by a fraction of an amount, but it seems to make a big difference to the pressure coming out of the turbo.
