Default what turbo would suit ?

i have a p1 and iam considering up-grading the turbo, all i know is that i dont want to much lag !...the cheaper the better, used, recon etc..

could you guys give me a rough idea on price and advice on what ones would suit/fit ?

cheers in advanced

You could look at the one that Chrome has for sale here - http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=427279

It uses the same oil/water pipes as your current one iirc so should be an easy fit.

you dont really want an SR55 mate....the lag would be pretty hefty....although top end power would be pretty big!! there is a car for sale 410bhp/440lbft with one of these fitted.....have a look at the spec to achieve it though....it aint cheap.

Are you using your current turbo (VF28?) to its full potential already?

Nothing in reality is going to be cheap. What mods do you have at the moment?

Personally I would fit the bits and have it mapped to its full potential 1st. 320ish bhp in real terms should be possible.

If you are aiming for more than that may want to look at a different turbo and either a STI8 i/c or FMIC.

Would think a FPR would be needed at that sort of power too.

yes mate i have a date set with BRD just wanting to gather some more bits i.e turbo, tmic , etc so that once i have had the main map from then i can build on what i have already got.

Not much point in doing that IMO. Decide on what you want and come up with a spec, buy all the bits and have them fitted and then have it mapped.

Dont see the point in having it mapped only to go and change things shortly after.
