Turbo will flow 300 horse, but need a strong engine for that power as well as a good management, to get enough petrol in their and get the correct AFR.

dont bother with a tiny t3, at least start with a t34. if you can afford it GT28 is a good turbo for a zvh.

Well dont want to be spending too much on the turbo not the Ł500+ bracket a t3 from a 4wd saph with a .48 rst exhaust housing will deliver good boost and power??? the engine aiming to be around the Ł240bhp mark.

i run a 4wd cossie turbo on the cossie 0.48 housing and modified cosworth downpipe to aid flow.
comes on boost on my 1.8zvh at 3000rpm, right up to 21psi and shifts well, seems a little restricted up the revs though, but maybe the head that's holding it back.
i'd think a T34 would be a little laggier for sure, which is why i'm happy with the cossie turbo.
if anything i need a better box to handle the power as i'm going to fit my third soon

the t34 on my 1600 is on full song round the 3500 mark right up to 7500 and thats with a lumpy cam aswell but once on boost when you change again your still well in to boost in next gear and in first to get it all going you don't even notice the lag as it happens so quick so really like it and it's used as my normal car out in it all the time
