You want a Stage 4 mate

Well, someone had to say it.

Being serious for a minute, what upgrades are you doing to your gearbox (if its a T5). I have a non-World Class one in my project car and am intrested in its longevity behind a high torque engine.

No it's a fourbee, rossie's one.
350-370 without head work or cams, just twist more boost, mapping ?

A set of 400s (light blues) will easy see you at 350-370bhp, will need a remap as well.

You could quite easily be at 350 now with the cooler fitted mate.

After that is greys or blacks, closed loop, 31 peak 27 held.

from there on upwards i recommend you open the engine and start modifying.

I had the this msd conversion done by stu on my 3 door, greys t34 30psi and 27 held and it was so much quicker than any greens / t34 car ive had previously.

I am running a similar setup - Siemens black injectors (550cc I think but dont quote me) with MSD Chip.

Also changed turbo zorst housing to a 0.63, and went over to L8 ecu, which your car already has I think Roosie

Goes like a train!
