I got outbid at £150 I think so I think it was about £160-180 bargain

nyscooby 23 August 2012 06:05 PM

Paid £180.

UK dealer Owen Development quoted £350 for full rebuild.

Its the retailer that gets bad press not the turbo, Forced Performance are hard work...

Had it checked, tip top and ready to go!

Research shows max's out at 460 and more than compatible with TMIC.

My mapper recently mapped this turbo in Germany with healthy figures...

All good then

nyscooby 23 August 2012 07:25 PM

I think so. Cant hurt can it??

God bless Ebay.

eBay does get slated ( rightly so most times ) , but you can get a bargain at times !

Mrchips 23 August 2012 09:23 PM

Tmic at 460 you sure? Great bargain though

nyscooby 23 August 2012 10:33 PM

I didnt say one with the other.

Turbo capable of 460...
Turbo can be run with tmic...

Yes turbo is capable running 460bhp,but FP(FP Green or Red) turbo are known as fragile turbo,just search here on SN

Second thing they're not very consistent in the claimed power,someone will make 460bhp,but someone will make just shy of the 400bhp

Good luck with the turbo,you will see how you get on and mainly great bargain

NASIOC - Plenty of helpful resources on there.

Why do people always focus on negative points without quoting all the success stories....?



I'd be more that happy with 400.
