Default vf28 turbocharger

im looking to get a little bit more from my MY00

is this a good upgrade turbo to go for?

also is this a direct bolt on or do i need supporting mods for this?

Good value for money and with downpipe, exhaust, walbro, panel filter and remap will see 320/320. Definately need a remap if changing from the OE turbo though. Unless its a direct repacement

Direct replacement and if you have a TD04 at present, it is a good upgrade.
If you have something other than a TD04 you need to stste what is on there at present.

Yes, it will need a remap to ensure safe running and to get the most from it.

Appropriate supporting mods and associated power levels depend on what model scooby you have and which other mods, as a minimum I'd say you're looking at upgraded exhaust system, upgraded fuel pump, uprated panel filter, turbo hose kit. Perferably I'd suggest a 3 port boost solenoid and ported and wrapped headers.

Ns04

so befroe buying this you suggest to get a new ECU first as the My00 ECU cant be remapped

bascily for the moment is this gonna be ok to take my TD04 out and replace it with one of these untill i get ECU etc then remap it once my mods are finish

i ahve hayward and scott system atm

Your MY00 ECU can be remapped. It is an Ecutek. No need to buy another ECU.
The VF28 turbo will fit straight on with no probs although its not advisable to change it till the day of the remap and then I'd be driving to the location off boost.
