Would that not be a downgrade ?

Spool on idle and dead by 5 grand ?

Thought 16g was Vf35 size (ish)

Could be wrong tho

existing turbo is cracked and hadn't planned on replacing it yet so its limited budget jobbie at the min and can get one cheap.

looking for what i can find for around £300 ish

It'll still need to be remapped if it's a different turbo. Would have thought it would be cheaper to replace the turbo like for like (VF43) if on a budget?

It's having the engine rebuilt so was being mapped anyway.

Problem is finding one that isnt cracked. Which isn't as easy as it sounds.

I saw a VF48 for sale at £400 so theres another possible option, although im loath to spend that much when its only a stop gap anyway.
