450 lasted 10 years/ 18k miles for me with an obd before it went as above At least it gave you plenty of time to save up.:lol1: I would imagine a great deal depends on how it's going to be used, in a road car there aren't too many places you'd be kicking the arse out of it for prolonged periods, it would just be the odd squirt here and there for 5 / 10 mins at a time max unless on a track day or at the ring, but anyone who takes a standard engine close to 500bhp and then regularly kicks the arse out of it on track is most definitely on borrowed time and the same can also be said of a built engine. I'd say most would be happy to get circa 20k under those circumstances. |

how much for the turbo?
|
£1600 ish from scoobyclinic
|
you do realise to get the maximum benefit from the turbo you really need fmic,tubular headers and uppipe or its going to be restricted.
|
Up pipe is on the list and ported headers, will contact as performance for these. Going to try sticking with the top mount

personally on that turbo you need rcm/gt spec headers, harvey uppipe,fmic and obviously appropriate map and injectors. the mods above are around another 1k |
Does any 1 no the correct samco hose to fit an rcm induction kit as there are 2 hose
Sizes? |
Upgrading the actuator vacuum hose to silicone might be a good safety mod.
|
Would I need rcm headers or could ported ones be okay at 400 ish?
|
Would the rcm headers crack?
