hi all had my engine built by api last year so was strong enough for the above power i no ill need to upgrade my gearbox but here is the problem i have an my 96 90 degree td05 now what are my options on upgrading the turbo without changin all my manifold an as i have hydraulic tappets still how far can these be pushed to ?

 

You can just raise the manifold with spacers , relocate power steering and fit a 3 inch intake hose and a GT30 hybrid...
This will make 450 @ 1.6 bar with supporting mods....

 

ok were do you get the spacers from how easy is it to do an were did you relocate p/steering to also i have abs. an how much will the turbo set me back?

 

Relocate the power steering wherever you have room , the turbo would set you back approx £1200 and another £420 for the oil and water fittings and the 3inch inlet pipe...
The manifold spacers are available from Roger Clark as a kit with all the bolts , gaskets etc.....

 

nice one cheers best start saving some more pennys lol

 

You may need a clutch depending on what you have now, an uprated gearbox, bigger brakes, suspension, maybe an oil cooler and some gauges for safety.

 

As API built your engine ask David what he suggests to get the power you require,pretty sure he will have options.

 

have spoken to david already just wanted to no if i could get away without changin manifold an pas about.

already got a clutch an bigger brakes i no i will need a ppg gear set or 6 speed just not sure what route to take an can not afford all at once
