Piecing together a turbo kit

Post by androo007 »

Hi Guys,

Bit premeture I know.... but starting to think about next year and jumping up a turbo size.

Although previously discussed upping the TD06 specs, i'm just not convinced it's the way I want to go. There's not a lot of proven dyno charts out there to show what i'd gain, and with newer technology on the market i think i should opt for that.

However.... i'm a tight ar$e.

My goal is circa 450hp. I know the radtech may be a throttle at that point, but i'll take that and run with it.

I see that Tuning Developments do a GT series kit for £2k but it made me wonder how much cheaper (i.e dont ready bodge) could it be done?

I'd like an externally wastegated (I guess) GT3076 or equivilent - completely open to ideas here guys.

So i guess i would need:

Downpipe
Screamer pipe
Manifold to Turbo converter (?)
Tial Wastegate.

Has anyone had this made up? What was the cost?

I guess a turbo would be circa £1k, so is it cheaper to have the other lot made up to suit? I dont have the ability to do myself so reliant on someone good to fab it up....

Cheers
