Default Gallardo Twin Turbo

Heffner Performance do a Gallardo with a twin turbo mod giving it something sick like 800bhp. Just wanted to know what you guys thought about it as I was deciding whether or not to get it done to my baby lambo here in the UK.

Does anyone know whether they'd ship the parts to the UK or I am going to have to ship to and fro.

I know that the traction and general feel of the car will be outrageous but the thought of 800bhp in a gallardo is very cool and it also saves me on buying an lp640.

Thoughts o' knowledgable ones....lol

I think something like this appeals to very few people, I'm not one of them. I'd rather have 12 cylinders, and scissor doors, but the real question is how or where are you going to use it?

Also keep in mind that you'll never get your money out of a mod like that...If that matters.

The last Gallardo that Heffner did had 908rwhp. You will have to ship your car to Sarasota Florida to have the modifications done, it is about a 4 month wait. Mine should be done soon!!!

rhyno if you have gone with the 908hp version you are the gallardo master!

if you could put pics or a video on youtube or something that would be very cool

i'll have to email the guys at heffner see what they say, or if the price isn't right then I might just splash out for an lp640

I highly reccomend the conversion, if you really have a need for power and the extra cash laying around do it. You only live once, theres nothing wrong with making a lambo faster is there? I thought they were meant be the kings of the roads anyways stock. If we can tune them why not make them faster, great company def. do it.

i'll have to have a serious think about it seeing as the very sexy lp560 has come out.

TBH i'll probably hold out for a new gallardo as they are tooooo sexy to be passed on

I am debating to do the same. The more I think of it, the more I am tempted to get the TT for my 2008 Gallardo Spyder. We have fun drive once every 2 weeks. With the TT, I am sure it will be fun.
