i have a V5 TMIC, very good condition, with the Y pipe and samco turbo hose, will fit straight on and be much more efficient than your standard unit. my car ran 300bhp easily with it, so you would have no problems. cheaper and easier to fit than a FMIC and keeps you car looking standard and untampered from the outside.

looking for £100 plus postage.

PM for pics

btw to get 300bhp from a uk turbo you will have to upgrade the intercooler.

V5 intercooler is no better than your current tmic,and you already have 440cc injectors...... Turbo options are worth looking at.

a good 12bhp with these + better throttle responce ect and they look pretty good to

let me know
I don't see how you can get 12 hp from changing pulleys. The only gain will be less weight of reciprocating parts that will help spool. Maybe you can remap to take account of the earlier spool and gain a wider useable power band

BUT you will not gain any hp just fitting pulleys.

Yes as david said. You won't gain hp's by just fitting them .... just a better throttle response.

However if the crank in mapped with timing marks etc then it is poss to gain Bhp

440's are good enough for the 300 target you stated..... 550's would give some headroom to prevent them being run at too high a duty cycle.
