Yeh my bad to the Jabba lads! I know a few people off here have had problems with one of them and I got confused as to whether is was Jabba or JBS. But it's JBS. ;)

Cheers for the answers chaps! I did realise that I had the FMIC but wasn't sure if it needed upgrading to a better, stronger one for the conversion. :p

I'll have a chat with a couple of tuners (hopefully they'll be honest rather than seeing an easy sale) rather than hijacking the thread.

So..... I need about £1500 quid for the missus then... keep an eye on the "For Sale" section! :whistle:

While I'm waiting for P-torque to get back to me with some prices, does anyone know the part numbers for the PD150 turbo or the PD160 turbo, if they aren't the same as each other? Cheers!

Im sure if traction was an issue, you could get your map tweaked for a few pennies to work the turbo a lot less, lowering the power output??? or just put up with it :D i would ha.

Why would you lower the power? Bollocks to that! I'd rather spin down the road in a cloud of tyre smoke! haha! :D

Tbh i doubt a LSD will ever get done. You can get most of the power down in 3rd > so should be alright.

.

can get away with having a smooth map and not geting a massiv loss in power. will help with taction no end as well.

its not just putting the power down, the handling is massivly inproved as well
