yeah there would be more to spend - it'd cost you a few hundred quid on top of that purchase price - don't go there unless you have to

Fuck. I knew you'd ask that.

Well to start with if you've got a 2wd exhaust manifold, you'll need to replace the trousers with something like the item Martin at Reyland sells for, IIRC, £288 to mount the wastegate on. Then you'd have to make up the screamer pipe. Then you'd probably have to have the boost control checked/adjusted. Then you'll find that you're no better off than what you were running previously. Apart from you're skint.

You really don't need one unless you've got a turbo without an internal wastegate eg a GT30 (although you can get a version of this that does have an internal wastegate so you still won't need one)

Thanx alot for that m8.Good info there.

Would a 3 Bar Map Sensor be any good for my car then? Its running 10psi but i would like to up that to approx 12/14psi max.

Cheers again.

no - stick with the 2 bar until you get greens fitted (803s) for 330 brake, or it'll run like a bag of shit with a 3 bar
