im just taking out my uk turbo engine out and i can totaly understand as the turbo looks a basta#d to get off , what did you pgrade it to ?

p12mem

put a vf35, i done mine at work so had all the eqiupment, up pipe was blowing so had to take most of it off and weld it, trust me a little blow makes a big difference
it seems better, gonna go for a little drive now, see how it is now the weathers a bit cooler

dont you need a remap when you change a turbo? and bigger injectors and uprated fuel pump?

p12mem

take your time and dont get stressed, dont be scared of it, oh and make sure your up pipe is ok as it's a pain having to do it all over again, normally blow at the flexy

p12mem

it only needs a tweek on the timing, but gonna get it mapped after i've used up tesco99 and gone to shell v max

I see. so if i got a new turbo, how much would the remap cost roughly to sort it?

that depends if you have had one already , if its your first then 600ish, then after that about 250-300 ish ...

cheers for the advice , will also be fitting a upgraded fuel pump and have a 3 port solinoid ready to fit by JGM when he returns to remap the new turbo
