Default after some advise

1st off all the best every 1 .
i have just been gettin my 1st cosworth , 4x4 sapphire in flint grey
the car is standard bar a filter and exhaust .
am after a bit more power , 300ish bhp for now because the cossie isnt as fast as the old t5r it replaced .
the standard t3 turbo seems to be in really good nick so want to use that before i need to replace it . but eventualy i will want more power and dont want to buy greens , greys then blacks etc so would the 55lbs blacks be okay on a t3 stage 3 set up
cheers

Yeah, you could go onto 55's and just get it set up at a little lower boost i'd imagine.
Eventually get a T34, one of those on 55's makes for a really nice road car, pull very well too.

you could try a NMS Gunship, which will run on the current setup and be close to 300bhp. Supposed to be an awesome setup.

The NMW gunship uses the standard injectors and turbo. Think its mapped for higher boost, in the mid range and tails off at higher rpm. Supposed to be an awesome setup. Im just running an MSD stage 1 at around 280bhp and its smooth and quick.

Gunship is only really advisable on a good engine from what i gather, but i think by that it means that the 300bhp is only possible on an engine thats 100%.

Personally i'd put 55lbs injectors in it and get it live mapped.

Yeh, they say its got to be a solid engine, but then again, any level of tune on a YB that isn't 100% will be costly.
