forgot to mention it has a stage 2 hybrid turbo

 

235.

 

so can i say a good 200 at the wheels

 

yea. ur turbo is the limit.

 

what turbo would you recommend mate

 

it depends. The one u have with that spec, will give a nice wide power band, and make a very fast road car. You prob have the ultimate spec for a driveable road car with power.

You can goto a stage 3 turbo - which is same as urs but with a 0.48 housing, not the std 0.36.

U won't have any real power below 3500 though with a 48, but it will be very strong once above that, and rev to 7k.

 

where can i get a .48 from and how much

 

you have 2 options.

The 48 off a cossie will fit ur turbo, but then the exhaust won't fit. It is however a much better housing, due to where the turbine and wastegate are located. You would have to have a custom down pipe made, or i can get u an adaptor that allows the std exhasut to bolt straight on.

The other choise is saab/integrale hosuing, which is the same as an RST one, just a 48

 

thanks for the info rick ill get back to you on the adaptor,how much is it

 

Your looking at about 100 quid. The problem i've had with down pipes, is they crack. I do a lot of miles and need reliability. The adaptor uses top quality flanges, and 4mm thick tube...

 

illget back to you mate on that ill try and sorce a cossy one cheers mate

 

pm me if u want any pics, i'll show u my install etc.

 

post them now if youve got time mate

Alright Craig,

Got your RS back from jamsport then! When you getting it mapped with full boost?

235bhp will be fun in a fwd car, mine was only 190 and that shifted, although you can forget about accelerating around corners when the boost hits
