which turbo do you think i should run,i have a s1 turbo and its still a 1.6 fully lightened and balanced,shot peened rods big valved head ported and polished gotech management cossie 803s [greens] fse fuel pressure regulator stage 2 at the mo,if you can give me a price and were to get from,i was thinking gt series cheers

reality

How much power do you want? You choose a turbo based on a target power figure you think you want/will get. For up to 270bhp use a 2wd cossie turbo, for up to 350bhp use a T34, and so on..

If you really want to join the internet craze and get a GT.. then a GT25 for say 225bhp.. GT28RS for 300bhp.. and so on..

NEWTON

cheers! i was looking for around the 250 @ the wheels mark if thats possible,or would i have to get an all steel bottom end

reality

If your head can flow that much air (~270bhp), then you should be able to get away with using a T3 as above.. if it's choking a bit, you'll need a larger turbo to help force the air through but that's a real crap way of doing things.. I think you'd definately want steel rods for longevity.. I don't like CVH's

NEWTON

i take it that your a cossie man then? do you know anyware on the net that sells the gt series turbo so i can get a price cheers

reality

Er anywhere really.. universal turbos.. cr engineering.. turbonetics.. ebay.. google!

NEWTON

stuart collins

iTrader: (7)

dont no wat the difference is , u would need to change the exhaust to a 3in moongoose and have to use a 2wd cossie down pipe

NEWTON

cheers mate thanks for the imfo

reality

There's no need to do that if you buy the turbo new as they would build it with an rs turbo style housing+elbow..

reality

Why? It's not a restriction < 400bhp.
