Standard turbo is a TD04

Probably not worth running much over 1.3Bar midrange to 1.2Bar topend

Good for around 280ish hp max

Why run a 10p turbo on a 2.1 forged bottom end? Complete waste of the bottom end, get something on there that will 'use' it!

Concur with FB, expensive supporting mods will stretch a TD04L out to 300bhp, but that costs more than a decent turbo!

A TD05-20g with the right supporting mods makes for a fairly brisk 2.1 equipped road car - should be good for circa 400hp - What anciliary upgrades and cylinder heads are you using?

Avoid the cr@p ebay turbos though - get a standard 16g and have it overhauled and converted by a turbo specialist.

Alternatively any of the later VF series turbos will be good (VF34/35 etc) - fast spooling and offering mid 300's performance when setup correctly
