What type of turbo is it?
It should say on it.
You would need a remap to run a different turbo anyway but ive a feeling that this one wont work very well on your car.

Had a series 28 Blower fitted and it goes like stink!
Just had a remap and it is brilliant.
So, I don't know about YOUR Blower but, mine fitted Without the remap went great.
As I said, after the remap went even better.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards

Am i not right in thinking Prodrive use standard turbo housing and casings, but hybrid the internals to gain the torque and power, if its a competition unit make sure it isnt fitted with any restrictors. Should imagine it will go straight on and definitely get a remap as that will get the most from any engine modifications. My mates got a prodrive rally car and the torque and pwoer it develops is unbelievable and its only group N, which is meant to be show room aint it.

I think your right, I also think they use custom up and down pipes due to the turbo being in a non standard position so it's possible that the bolt pattern will also be different.
WRC cars also run 2 bar + of boost and make about 300bhp and 500lb/ft due to the way the turbo is designed, so i don't think it'll do much on your UK turbo @ 1.3 bar.
