IIRC, I think has Zen mapped one to c.360bhp (prob on a 2.0L). Performance-wise it's in the same sort of territory as the 18g I think. I have no idea how it spools compared to the 18g though...

I reckon that's optimisitc TBH.

A HS 20g or AF 20g will fit the bill...

A 20g with harvey's OEM ported headers and suitable sized ported uppipe should make it spool at c.3700rpm - not to shabby for a budget 380+ turbo...

I used to deal with FP but not now. Try getting parts if something goes wrong or you need a rebuild. Total waste of time. Ask Iddy on TyneTeesScoobies about his experience with an FP Red. Car off the road for weeks and eventually turbo converted to something else.

I can do an HS188 which is basically an 18G 8cm. With the right mods it does 360 bhp and 1 bar in 4th on a 4 speed around 3,300 with full boost shortly afterwards. Numerous people on here have this turbo and I hear people saying 370 odd bhp. I guess it depends on the rolling road you use and the supporting mods but ask others what is typical if they actually own one. These are currently £675 with ported exhaust inlet, oil drain, water pipes fitted and uprated actuator.
I also have a 7cm 18G that is sold against the turbo above in the U.S. New and boxed with water pipes and oil drain, actuator etc. and I have ported the exhaust inlet. £675.

Almost always in stock unless two or three people want a turbo on the same day and we have had a busy week. Three or four days notice is maximum requirement but usually if the turbo is paid for by teatime it is delivered from stock next day. TD05 18G and 20G and others. New.
