no problem on the bleed valve
is there any benefit for having a .48?

almost certain they have a .48, and maybe a bigger compressor
if you look at the power a standard 2wd cossie turbo can flow, (around 280bhp)
i doubt u could put a t3 from a rs turbo onto a cossie and run 280bhp

.48 will give more lag IMO

0.48 exhaust housing is a must have for strong top end power. Much stronger at the top, but you'll get more lag and max torque will move up the rev reange.

thanks!
So would a cam kit like a piper 285t balance it out by introducing torque from the go?

Yes, there is a differnece. The 2wd drive has a 55trim compressor wheel, as opposed to a 40 trim on the std RST item. It is essentially a bigger compressor wheel. Also has a bigger exhasut housing - 0.48 as opposed to 0.36.

a cossie2wd t3 is not going to be soooo laggy on a bigger capacity erst engine because you will get more exhaust waste to drive it, yea?

Correct, but it's all linked - bringing in the power earlier, also brings it out earlier!
