Default Turbo size

Been away from the cossie scene for a long time now, but have just bought a moonstone cossie 3dr. Has 85000 miles form new and has dark greens, 3bar -31 actuator etc etc for Stage 3 setup, but the turbo is still the t3. Is it best for me to change to t34? Or should the t3 be ok? It boosts nicely, but seems to run out of "puff" after a while. Thanks guys



P.s anyone got a t34 if needed? Cheers

T3 will be fine on Greens, yes it will die top end and will at best see 300-315 bhp, i had a Stage 2 TT on my old 3dr with NMS live map peaking @ 27psi on greens etc, it was superb, made 310 bhp and 356ft/lb



PS, T34.48 would be a nice upgrade though

Agree with the above,t3 will be pushed to the limit,having said that depends on what boost pressure you will be running. T34 with a .48 would be much stronger and won't die out at top end of the boost range as much a a t3 plus you will get more power from the t34 turbo over the t3 obviously.
Finally with the t34 you will be able to use the full potential of the dark green 803 injectors that you have.

Thanks.Lee.

So it's a T34 then?

T3 CANNOT simply flow enough, won't even make 330 and if it did it'd only last aday
