it got 13 on them, which i really don't like...  :-[  I'll get a side pic and let u guys decide....  i'm ordering a 14 with 195/50 tyres... i tried with 15 but while turning the tyre touches the body...  the only mod is the air filter... currently it's having clutch problem(i think is the cable) and hunting due to throttle plate(hope with help from Colza i can fix it)... I just brought this beauty about 3-4 months ago (it was white then)... the previous owner didn't take care of it... the gearbox was empty!!! no oil at all!!   future plan..  get it running smoothly.. fmic and boost controller (hate it went the boostcut comes in)..

A boost controller wont make boost cut go away. And you should only think about removing the boost cut if you have fuel upgrades to go with it!

Ill hopefully get those throttle plates out for you in the next few days.

T1 82 - 84
T2 83 - 86?

Just check the seatbelt saftey labels they will tell you what year it is.

The fix for overboosting is check the hose running to your wastegate. Check the actuator rod still moves if you pull it (should require a lot of pulling though) and check that the actuator is still air tight (suck on it). You can also take the actuator rod off and see if the wastegate flapper is stuck shut/damaged etc
