saw this on Thursday night up close.

It's a GTR as Andy says, was built for the Need for speed Carbon game. Suffers from some severe LAG!

Will try and find some pics.

The guy paid 10k for it apparantly

It is quite impressive (to me anyway!!) but I wouldnt ever wanna own it because its just SO impractical

Vid of it, makes it look really squashed though-

Isn't that the Do-Luck gullwing project that Sumopower brought into the UK?

GTR turbo's, 0.85 bar recommended max on ceramics, can run up to 1.2 bar on ceramic if you want to take a risk (let's face it, you can run ANY level of boost on ceramics. Longevity may be an issue, though ).
Efficiency peaks at 1.3bar officially, but on steel internals 1.4bar is good.
