seems very expensive that
K+n 50 quid
fuel pump and kit 150
chip 350
surely a rolling road sesion can't cost over 500 quid!!

I reckon stu's (msd) new big t conversion can be done for about £1700 if you shop around for the turbo, manifold etc If I was you this is where I would be heading

RIP OFF, use MSD, it is a once only trip to get it set up right, after saving for large turbo bits, and imagine the fun on the way home, you will get home a lot quicker than you get there!!
As stu say small turbo is just that, asthmatic tbh.

Hard to say what we will market the software at, as the infuriating thing is, once we release it ever tw@ will copy it.

To give you an idea though, here is what you will need on your T28 EsCos.

Parts list:
55lb injectors. £300
Cooler plugs. £50
Uprated pump. £150.
Chip will definately unlikely be anymore than £500.

Then you need a:
T34.48 with -34 fitted. (We dont sell the turbo )
LT 4x4 manifold (We dont sell)

Shouldnt be too bad compared to fitting a downgrade from a sierra as you dont have to buy the:
Loom
Ecu
Sensors
HT leads
Coil etc
Distributor... (Why fit a distcap back on your great engine?)
Plenum & throttle body Etc

And you are of course gaining closed loop and wasted spark as standard, not to mention adaptive fuelling and spark control.
you only need a turbo and manifold and your there

you could look in here

https://passionford.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=48

or try asking on of the traders here

https://passionford.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=44

buying a brand new one out of a proper shop will cost you twice as much as getting one from a memeber that has ugraded there turbo

good luck
