Please help ive got a uk scooby 2000 turbo on a (w) reg and have just got my hand's on a prodrive wrc turbo is there any think i need to no or do before i fit this lovely thing on so nothing un expected happen's HELP please

 

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.

"Any think"? Yes; if its what you say then you need to 'no' (sic) that it wont fit!

 

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 was under the impression that they used non standard housings with external wastegates: I may be wrong though.

 

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.
