Nothing smaller than the GT28.

Got to consider how difficult it will be to fit, will it be a straight swat etc?!?!

Bluesprint low comp engine.

just want to buy a turbo that will be good for stage 3 onwards up to around 450bhp in the end.

Rather buy 1 turbo that will be ok for all stages from stage 3 upwards rather needing to change it again as i upgrade with other mods.

you cant really do that unless u buy a t4 turd or sumat because the engine spec differs so much from stg3 to 450bhp spec the turbo is a massive factor. i.e lag etc hth

Go for a turbo technics 0.55 T34. In my opinion it is the BEST sub 400bhp turbo for a YB. (In terms of performance/lag/value/ease of fitment/mappability)
