Just bought an RST running a T34 turbo and I believe all these are good for is lag? Im wanting something with a lot less lag but is good for reliable 250/260bhp.
What sort of power should i expect from the T34? The seller reckons he gets 175bhp at 2.2 bar, id expect a lot more from it. What do you think? Not gunna have it on the rollers till ive sorted some things out with it.

Its that one mate, the car was running 1bar when i saw it today and it ran fast, lots of lag but when it got going it picked up well. Felt around 175bhp to me, certainly quicker than standard. So i think he might of had his wires crossed, I got it for a bargain price so im expecting it to be different to what was advertised if that makes sense? Its running a standard 1600, the sump gasket is leaking and he had it replaced and it leaked again so I think it could push more power when he upped the boost.
The seller wasnt too mechanically minded and had reciepts for the most basic of things so i assume he has his wires crossed somewhere. Might need to find a rolling road and book it in for a power run and diagnosis and see what I need.

2.2 bar is gunna blow me up mate lol It does have a boost gauge and its running 14 PSI which is 1bar iirc. But when he has had it at the track he ups the boost to 2.2 and the guy who built the engine said it will run all day at 2.2 reliably - worries me a bit that lol. The person who built the engine has a visor sticker on the windscreen so before i move it ill look him up and see if he remembers the car and see what he has to say.
Like the idea of the Vovlo turbo though, a mate has one on his renault 5 gtt and his girlfriends clio turbo so i know they are alright, will have to speak to some turbo specialists and see if they can help me.

Best thing to do is get it to a tuner the second you pick it up to get it WELL checked out.
