not sure mate to be honest,remember its not all about numbers,you could have a car with about 360bhp thats properly set up and sppols like a ******* that will spank a laggy 380+ bhp

Thanks for your input Jacko4130 but dont wish to go that far, only really wanna change turbo (and adjust the map) so get 360-390bhp.

Why, someones already stated an upgrade turbo is £350-500 which is a bit different to £1170.

It unlikely you'll get 380+ from a vf48 on a 2.0, possibly on a 2.5. A TD05 20g is probably you best bet on a budget.
