Default WHAT TURBO ???

Just wondering if the tuning boys out there could recommend what turbo to go for on a 2wd Sapph and the best company to get it from ie: Turbo Technics etc,

It had a full standard engine rebuild about 4000 miles ago,
Graham Goode stage 2 conversion 330 bhp,
3" stainless exhaust,
K+N panel filter,

But was still running the standard Turbo which has now given up on me, 85,000 life span not bad though, I was thinking of staying with a standard unit because I still want to keep the low down driveability but would like a little less lag, also what bhp gains are there to be had.
youre ideas on which way to go would be appreciated

You sure? Not that long ago GGR was still knocking out them lame light greens stg2 conversions, and they about 300bhp tops, and in a few i remember they were proven LESS powerful than when put back to stock inj and a GOOD stg1 chip fitted...

I'd agree with the .48.

Non-existent re: lag

But why? Just interested as I was told to get the .63 or .68 or whatever rather than the .48 for mine.

NOT so much that but some people class a stage2 as having a standard 2 bar map and light greens etc(300bhp) and I've also heard some people call their stage2 conversion running 803's dark green injectors and a 3bar plus chip etc 300+bhp the same.



ps DID you have your pants pulled down when you paid for it @ GGR as they are known for mortage prices LOL
