Turbosmart is celebrating the release of their new 40mm wastegate the CompGate40. It's big on flow but tiny on profile, which makes it perfect for the tight-spaced externally gated turbo application. This is pretty cool new, but wait, there's more. Turbsmart are giving one of these gems every single week for a very limited amount of time. How do you score one? Easy! Check out our Competitions Tab for the link!

How's this for an incredible story?

Eddie Colon from Puerto Rico made the journey to Australia for J20 only to find that his RX-7 got caught up in transport and thus he was left with a race without a race car. In an warm act of generosity, Dib Taouil of Sydney's TCR Automotive offered his 7 sec FD RX-7 to the guest to race in.

The boys at Zoom Magazine did a marvellous job in getting their camera on-board in the TCR FD RX-7. Check the vid out over the fold!
