Hello all. I've seen 2 cars advertised at the same dealer, both a claimed 380bhp. Both have similar descriptions but very different price tags.
This is stage 3 isn't it?
From looking at the bay, or having a telephone conversation with said dealer, what it visible to denote such power?
Cheers!
David

380bhp is not stage 3.
Stage 3 is greens, so no more than about 350bhp, tho if stage 3 itd be 330bhp tops really.
380bhp is greys, a .63 housing T34 or similar, and so on.

look at the turbo, try to read any stanpings/markings on it.
for 380bhp it must be running on blues/greys and have a large r3500 sized front intercooler. covers entire rad etc.
if it has green injectors, 330bhp max realstically, yellow = standard/stage 1

Excellent. Thanks.
So all i would really see is the turbo and injectors?
What are the identifying marks of the T34? I know the exhaust housing it marked on the inside.

My Sierra used to run one as well.
Personally I agree with Spadge. It will be bullshit figures and will be 330max and on greens!

RS500 intercooler is about 1/3 taller than the Cossie Rad.
T34 compressor is easily noticable compared to a T3, look at pics on here for that one.
the ex housing a/r marking is near the flange where the turbo joins the manifold, not easy to see, but visible if using 2wd manifold.
