My best mate has a sierra cossie, 1990 one. 2wd. just wondering what turbo timer is best for this car.
plus what are the best modifications to get to up the horsepower.
everything is standard at the mo. just an aftermarket air filter.

 

I am sure some use the blitz turbo timer, although I wouldn't use one myself, as wouldn't trust someone trying to nick it round here.
If the engine is std and sound, then depends how deep your pockets are and how much power you want.
As a basic upgrade it goes to stage 1 first around 260/270, with just a chip change, nothing else, though you would be well advised to get a decent exhaust, the chip would be around £150/200 or so.
Most skip stage 2 and go straight to stage 3, which is new map sensor, dark green injectors, chip, for around 320/330bhp chip same price again.
Above this there are so many combos, but the std T3 is the next limiting factor, so a lot go T34 size, etc etc.
A good stage 1 has a massive torque improvement over std, will totally transform the car.
A good idea to make sure brakes and suspension are up to it as well.
Different people want diffferent things try and get drives/passenger in modded ones.

thanks thats brill. Just eh what company does the best chips. prob go to stage 1 for the mo, take it from there.

 

MSD

 

Msd as said are certainly amongst the best thought of ones, certainly thier service is excellent.
I had a GGR stage 1, very expensive £300, but was really good, you won't go wrong with a respected name, msd have probably done more chips than others.

dont bother with a turbo timer; waste of time and insurance compnaies dont seem to like them

when on the way home; just drive off boost for 2 miles or so - easy

 

i personally wouldnt bother with a turbo timer,

as said above its the thought of the some 1 robbin the car, i would much rather sit in the car while its coolin down,

as for the chip msd all day long fella they dont come more highly recomended, or as tab said ggr do a dam fine stage 1
