As above my turbo has given up the ghost on the xr2 turbo (cossie t3) and was considering upgrading to a T34 BUT would I notice a difference / is it worth it on my spec engine???? Dont want to spend the money on one if i dont have to! Current spec is as follows:

1650 CVH
Cossie T3 turbo
Fully balanced and blueprinted
Blydenstein gas-flowed cylinder head with silicon valve stems
Low compression pistons (7.0:1 CR)
OFAC management
Escort Cossie Group A K&N Filter
Spec-R oil breather system
Ahmed Bayjoo Phase2 conversion
Beige fuel injectors
IB5 RS1800 Fiesta 5-speed gearbox
AP Racing clutch with uprated road/rally cover plate

It peeks at around 15psi but the turbo seals are foobered!!!!

I am considering going cossie management in the near future but not planning on upgrading to anything else (was going to go 16v but spending money elsewhere now!!)

Cheers
Chris

 

Would have thought it was abit laggy for your spec from what ive read on them but then depends on housing etc...

 

Stay with the T3 less lag and for what boost you will be running no need !.

ok cool cheers! Suppose get a standard rebuilt with 360 bearing???

 

Only really need a 360 if ur full out thrashing the taters out of it ! and at a max of 16 psi no need





Regards Doug .

 

i'm only thinking of doing it now in case cossie management does come at a later date?? (wont cost me much more!)

Chris

 

If ur going down that route do it then mate cause you will be wanting to run 20 psi maybe more on cos management .
