no no no no.

i was like yourself when i 1st got my fiesta. it had a t2 hybrid on it, running 12psi, got to know a lad who had a stage 1 t3 on it, he was runnin 9psi iirc on a bleed valve. both standard engines etc etc

he took me out in his, and then i got to drive it myself, and i must admit, mine felt alot quicker. boost came on quicker

i said to him mine felt quicker, and he disagreed. we went heads up on a disused car park, and he truely spanked me

so since then, t3 all the way, it does not fell as quick, but when the boost kicks in, you certainly know about it. pulls harder, and for longer in the rev range.

no doubts about it. end of discussion

i think im gonna have to go t3 again, my last one was only running standard boost but as soon as it come on boost it was like a kick up the jacksie. and besides, a stg 3 turbo is cheaper than a standard t2

I only speak from experience i paid over Ł750 for my hybrid T2, and had nothing but trouble!

Whacked a T3 on it and never missed a beat

But if your happy then im happy

The conversion, is easy, and will save you bucks in the long run! (just a thought)

Your car bud as long as your happy. People (myself included) can be a bit aggresive when offering advise from our own experiences. I doubt anybody was intending it as knocking you or your motor

Sean knows t3's give more power as he has driven my car

I have vids of him doing 130+ on my car when i lent it him for the day, he knows excatly what the difference is, but with sean's style of driving i still think the t2 was the best bet, and plus you've saved a tad on mapping lol.

New pistons/rings and head is on now...

Not long till she'll be back on the road mate

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE!!
