Default Cost to "clock" a MD321T turbo..

Car coming off road for winter soon and want to clock mt MD321T turbo to reduce fmic pipe work for lag, just wondering how much this would cost? Also anything else worth doing to turbo whilst its off?

Thanks Ryan

I remember Harvey doing it with a 20G years ago and I've never heard of it since, if there were any real gains to be had from it it would actually be a common mod.

I think the gains are very minimal and it's hardly worth doing TBH.

Friend of mine has done it, I'm running HDI FMIC by doing it he has lost a lot of the pipe work so less lag, along with a few other mods hoping to get it running as efficient as possible reverse inlet etc

The MDX is a billet compressor wheel, plenty of threads on here about them, spool better, more power blah blah.

Just do a search on here for more info, I've just had my 321T changed with the billet wheel as well.

Unless your into Sprinting/Hillclimbing or any other form of Motorsport it would be a waste of money, thats' just my opinion though..

Even the gains reversing the manifold are minimal TBH, most people just do it for looks.
