400 can be done on blacks or greys and a t34.63
450 would take a more money as i would be uprating a lot also would need a t38 or sod it and bolt up a T4 PMSL

Blacks have better spray patten, dont need fitting kit and generally meant to be a better design, flow rate wise similar so i believe.
Stu does rate the blacks

there's a hell of a lot of stuff tbh needed for over 400bhp, especially to be reliable too.
if it's 4x4 i wouldn't advise it anyhow as he WILL break gearboxes very often!!!
i'm currently running around 420bhp on ;
Greys
T38
headwork ( mine is overkill but you'll defo need some porting and maybe a bd14 inlet cam or similar )
WRC head gasket
tbh there's far too much to mention, but it's gonna cost a pretty penny

i've got 4x4 saff just been on rr it made 330 bhp & 400 lbs feet of torque at the wheels , so i think that works out around 400 bhp ish
the spec is
t34 , 63 rear housing
rs500 spec cooler
blacks ( 550 cc )
msd live map , coil pack conversion & closed loop lambda
it peaks around 36 lbs of boost
the engine internals are totaly standard even comp
hope this helps
ps it goes like stink

u just need a healthy engine to run 400 bhp with 55lb black injectors a good headgasket and a t38 as with todays fuel ect you have to bash the shit out of a t34 to get a honest 400bhp
to run a turbo such as a t4 gt30 for 450 then i think you will move into porting head as surge ect will become a prob

dependent on spec a T34 can do 400 no probs, Turbo Dynamics can get 400 from a T34.55 with a GT32 compressor wheel and a bit of fiddling, never mind a .63, imagine 420 possible on a .63, be ringing the bollocks off it though

T38's are available from a few companys all in different specs too iirc
Mine (although not fitted) came from Turbo Technics
Stu at MSD could supply everything your after though

I stand corrected then
I thought I read somewhere that he did, I did read though that Turbo Technics Warranty is excellent as they will cover their turbos even when they are being used on good power engines.
I have no idea if any other manufacturer has that policy or not

Turbo Technics were ok, struggled to get info when i needed on a turbo i had, took loads of phone call.
Turbo Dynamics are not only 5 miles down the road but when i phoned them about a turbo that i had bought while on the phone give me a full breakdown of the last rebuild, who built it, parts used, then took turbo down there for freshen up, turned it around in 2 days, gave me advice on best modifications at a later stage, chucked in all new free studs, gaskets, gave discount on pre turbo filter.
I just gone back there to get few bits done to the turbo inc different housing, re position the actuator mounting and put in a turbo hanger plate, bead blasted my supplied housing and the trousers, gave it a once over and i got change out of £50.
Spot on servce, they also emailed me the rebuild sheets with the test results

That is good service on their behalf
I got a second hand TT T38 from a guy I met, it hadn't been used but I wanted to know more so I called TT up and they also told me everything I needed to know, and also Turbo Technics are only 30 mins from where I live so makes sense for me to use them.
I'll find out if the turbo is any good when I actually get my car back so the engine can be fitted

I went for 7.5CR, ported head, bd14's, 83's and a universal T38.
Will see what it makes in about a year
should easliy make the right side of 400 though.

Would deffo say in my experience go for a bigger turbo than T34.63
Mine made 406bhp on one,but turbo only lasted 6 months running 35psi peak,that was a 360 degree,staggered seal re-built unit

BD14 cams
T38
Black injectors
WRC head gasket
he has RS500 spec inter cooler.

NIL
stu did the mapping, the engine has only ever had a head gasket and main bearings as far as i'm aware all that was done before i got it
it was nick's from msd so stu might have helped with the engine work not 100 % sure though
