I see no reason whatsoever to keep the T2, it's fooking shite and can't provide the goods once you start tuning.

Doing the T3 on mine was the best thing I did to it

Personally I owuldn't buy a second hand turbo as they are of such an unkown quality. Only buy if you can be sure it's spot on.

The conversion is pretty straight forward. Hardest bit is getting the downpipe sorted
