Only had my 2WD Sapphire for a short period, the T3 on there has loads of shaft play and started to smoke.

I am about to get a T34.48, the car already has greens, 3bar, RS500 pro alloy intercooler, and had a graph from TOTD showing 301bhp at 23psi, but the car is deffinatly only hitting 15psi, what i need to know is how do i find out what ECU and chip i have atm (L1 e.t.c) so i can phone MSD and get the correct chip for set up with the new turbo??

Also would it be worth going to Siemens 55lbs injectors, aiming for a reliable 350bhp

Thanks

 

i would say you have a L6 mate!has a white co screw and has brackets that are part of the casing where it screws on to the mounting bracket

 

Only sure way is to take the ecu cover off!

Consult this site to check what ecu you have

Nice one, i'll take it out tomorrow and have a gander

 

Best to be sure, as you can build the ECUs into either a 4wd or 2wd casing

 

Compare the ecu to pictures on this website:

So would a T34.48 be reliable at 350'ish, or should i go for one with a .55 or .63 housing???

From other cars i've had i found around 350'ish to make a nice usuable road car, just want the turbo to be reliable and not running at max capability all the time

Thanks

 

go for 370hp upwards

t34.55 or t34.63
siemens 55lbs
msd chip
500 cooler

i had t34.55 on siemens 55lb, made a very quick road car, a t34.48 runs out of puff at top end

 

and an 044 pump with rewire, correcrt wasegate actuator, 3 bar map sensor blah blah.
give is a ring mate and we can spec you a nice file to perfectly suit your needs

 

Will do James, thanks

Just had a look at my ECU, it's deff an L6, thanks for the help
Need to get a price on a T34.55, will give CR Turbos a ring on Monday, see how it compares on price to the Turbo Technics T35.55 (S112)
