Default Turbo help

looking for a new turbo for my s2 and i just want to know the difference between the 3 turbos below.

I am aiming to reach 250 bhp in the not so far away future so i need a turbo that will be capable of this

so what are the difference between theses:

2wd cossy t3 -
4x4 cossy t3 -
stage 3 t3 -

Also what kind of power are they capable or running.

I think but i'm not 100% on the Cossie ones that 2wd is .36/55 good for 230bhp, 4wd is .48/55 as is Stage 3 T3 and good for 280bhp.

But as I said i'm not 100% on the cossie ones, sure someone will know though!

You have to also remember that in 'real world' driving, is not always good to have a huge turbo as they'll be laggy and before its fully boosted up and your getting its full potential you'll be at the next bend in the road and having to back off, and that n/a engined little pug 206 gti 180 (good example of a light nippy n/a engined car) will be well away leaving you behind.

Just fit a .48 exhaust housing to your T3. It will make it a little bit laggy but should help flow further up the rev range.

to run the cossie turbo you will need to make a down pipe ... im running a stage3 t3 and am aiming for the same power mate ...... and as for them shitty little pugs you wouldnt even bother as you will be out chasing cossies and scoobys with a true 250bhp

When iused apug as a example i had in mind the sort of area i live in which is country roads with alot of bends and not many long straights. Obviously on a dual carriageway you'll leave them behind.

i would just use a stage 3 t3 direct fit and more than enough for the 250hp
for the cossie turbo there would be some messing involved, but it has been done

close, the 4wd cossie one has a trim of 60, but spot on otherwise.
i use a 4wd cossie one on a 0.48 exhaust housing and pulls nicely.

So can you fit a 2wd t3 if you use the standard ERST exhuast housing and elbow?
Or does the blades foul the housing....
