just a quick question im thinking of buying 2wd cossie saph, he says its running 350+ on low boost 1 bar!!!! what do i look for to check the ecu is a better one to cope with the mods done, any code numbers or pic to show me ect cheers steve

To get 350+ at 1 bar the turbo would stand out as not being a T3, or a T34, I would just ask for proof, you can't tell a thing by looking at a ecu, other than it is a certain sort ie L1/6/8 or the ecu chip has been changed, other mods will be needed, the biggest immediate clue is the colour of the injectors, as these would need changing as would actuator, and at 350+ the intercooler needs to be a 4wd one not 2wd and would normally be a RS500 type, it would need the usual exhaust air filter swap etc as well.

just contacted owner, its running 200 block,o/s pistons. b10 cams, t35/360 cut back blades, 500 intercooler, he said greys at 1000cc mmm more like 403 hey ho ,cooper ringed, balanced crank ect,
engines done 16k since rebuild by a company called jc autos in hendon london cossie builders????

He's talking out his arse, getting 350+ at 1 bar, on a T34(same as 35) isn't going to happen, why the cut back blades, totally unnecessary on t34/35, BD10 cams are pretty useless, in power gain but do lose you quite a bit, idiotic to replace the exhaust cam anyway at this power level as std BD8 perfectly fine.
Be aware if the 200 block is on last oversize, if anything happens bore wise it is as good as scrap, or EXPENSIVE sorting out, 200 block not needed at this power level either.
1000cc greys ?, maybe his came from a JUMBO JET ?, as the std 0280 150 403, or to cossie people greys are 503cc/min, the number on the end does not denote the cc rating in any way.
Not being funny but take someone with you who knows cossies, as this seller sounds full of shit.
I don't know the place in london who did the engine, but cossie are very easy to do, just make sure if you do drive it give it some shit, then when you stop leave it running whilst chatting to owner whilst fan cuts in then out, see if he gets nervous, the usual ballache with these is the HG popping, a no no word with cossie owners!!
