Darkside developements does a kit for that turbo. There are two different setups 200 - 270 bhp I think. He has more info on his site.
I have seen it. it very expensive
It is very expensive, but its also a verycomprehensive kit.
You can do it a lot cheaper, but don;t expect a lot of help on here. AFAIK, theres only two people running big turbos that aren't darkside kits. And we both made our own bits
That'll work. My original manifold was just a modified cast item.
What I'd ask yourself is why bother? If you do it on a cast manifold, and if your doing it on the cheap, are you going to have injectors, rods, clutch that can handle more power?
And if your not going to have all those (at significant cost) would you be better off with a vnt17 based hybrid?
Yeh but getting the turbo is the easy part.
You could now sort a manifold for £150 and a downpipe for £150 and probably bolt that on and run 230bhp with a new map. You'll also need to spend money on things like gaskets, TIP, changing the turbo to actuated.
To do it for less than £1500 you'll be doing well.
And then after that, you'll start to wonder, since you have a turbo that can support 300bhp, would you be as well getting internals, injectors, another map, an LSD etc etc etc.
Well that turbo is capale of 240. Your standard injectors are on the limit, but you'd just about manage
Just a diff, but they're not cheap
Yeh, in the same way my 100k mile 163bhp Audi rolling roaded at 185bhp

Longer injection duration......A LOT of smoke but it works.....want a video?
