wont bolt up to the manifault mate!

best you can do is get a hybrid t3 with cossie internals! or a special roller bearing turbo!

any luck selling anything yet?

there is not enough space for the t-4 or you move the radiator to the back of the car. for what kind of engine is it. not 1.6 i hope. to much lag.

cheers

I have seen a T4 bolted up to a 2litre Zetec turbo, using a modified RST manifold

You need to run such a ridiculously high compression ratio, but it should be capable of producing over 500bhp

I say no more tho

Many large Holset turbos fit straight to the RST manifold and have been used with phenomenal top end power.

drive it around town and you'll find out its nothing for a 1.6. even on a cosworth engine you notice a lot of lag. so on a 1.6 even more.

if you are getting fiesta management mate you need it custom mapped! so may as well just get custom management anyways! something like omex!

You can fit any turbo to any car. Stick a Gt40 on there if you want!

The problem you'll come into is that the compressor housing will hit the manifold so you'll need to space it out. The T34 fits straigth on just, so any larger will need spacing.

Though IMO a T34 would be more than enough for 99.99% of RST's.
