T4 is not in at the moment people prefer the stupidly delicate GT range that surge like an ass so need live mapping.T4 rocks,best turbo in the world for the Cosworth plus it ties in nice with 500bhp the best power for one too!

Wouldnt swap my turbo for a GT30.

T4's aint THAT laggy for what you can get out of them.

I think the reason that you dont se that many for sale is beacause if you have spent the cash on an engine to with the T4 that you would never get the money back if you sold the car complete.

For example what would be the tops I could ask for my car?

Good but not mint body, 550 bhp, 185mph, AP's, Autronic , special inlet, exhaust and cooler etc etc

would need to be over 10k before I even considered it...

I would imagine a lot of people selling a T4 car sell it with a T3 on and sell the other bits seperately to make more money?

To really take advantage at the top end, quite a lot, certainly more than just cleaning it up.

Not done one personally though, so cant give you exact specs.
