If it's standard 4x4 transmission you need to bear that in mind when choosing a power figure

Agreed, a "cossierich spec" gt3071r, will give comfortably over 400bhp

Injector wise, set of 750cc seems appropriate.

roller bearing t4 or GT3071R

83lb Siemens blacks injectors

i'd go for a live map, and possibly get any large boost spikes mapped out to ease strain on gearbox if its standard

it wont flow as much as the GT or a T4 (its not as big turbo); but it will be easier on a standard gearbox, early 400's depending on spec
