T3 .60 inlet and .63 exhaust, usual bearings etc
just finished fitting it all up n fook me is it a bit more urgent lol, bit more lag but not too much, still to be mapped yet, so cant wait for that.

Zetecfiesta when i changed ma clocks from the originals it was about 99,800 so it doesnt really bother me that they are at 0 as thats what the old ones would be by now lol
AndyH_ZS the turbo was not specced by me but by ahmed, reckons we could push 300 with the current setup, but i shall wait n see, anything over 250 is fine by me
n billy, was shiny, its now a bit smelly lol, bit like those tickets u sent me, they are all stuck in a clump

and one advice, try to centre the intercooler if it's possible.

it has got about 95% exposure to the air tho its only the end tanks/corners that are slightly covered
