Default Does anyone have articles/brochures on AIT,AVO falcons?

Im just wondering if anyone here has brochures or magazine articles or anything similar that describes cars like mine that were sent from Ford to AIT to have turbo conversions done.

Im looking for anything I can print out or get a copy of. I took the car for a RWC yesterday and the tester refused to look at it because according to him the only turbo falcons to be sold were the BA's. I told hiim that just because he doesnt know about it doesnt mean it didnt exist but that didnt help.

My car even has an AIT EA falcon turbo compliance plate but that wasnt good enough according to him and I still needed an engineers certificate. I have taken it elsewhere now but documents to support what the car is would be great to have.

We now know about falcons with aftermarket kits from AVO, AIT and even a sprintex supercharged version that was produced. Documentation on any of these would be great. Maybe we can put them up in the brochures section?

Thanks guys,
Dan

Someone told me that the guy that did the AIT turbos (Dave or Steve Ingall from memory) was working with/for APS. This was about 2 years ago, might be worth giving them a call and ask if you can speak to him. Mike Vine in Queensland fiddled with Falcon Turbos too.

I’ve got some articles (most of them are packed away). PM me your email address and I’ll send you PDF’s of some tomorrow.
