Some big siemens injectors, 660cc + cant remember exactly, on a billet fuel rail. Lag isn't too bad, currently don't have an rpm gauge hooked up, so cant answer that one. Running a Microtech LT10s

turbo fits with a standard manifold and a t3 fladge, xr6 turbo spec. could see you running into issues though with a ,70 compressor.

[QUOTE=PSI086]GT30 has the same housings with smaller wheels fitted and the AVO manifold is a direct replacement for the factory cast one so everything is the same as what it looks like you have done with your set up. same size compressor wheel different size turbine.

Im trying to go for the stockie look in the engine bay. i went for the same look , before undergoing it i was under the assumption u had to take a bit of the engine away but it was not the case when putting the turbo on , i was more then pleased with the result mark is awesome and has the time for everyone Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
