I can get one off a good mate relatively cheap and its in as new condition.He bought it originally for a 250 crossflow but over the years lost interest.My question is are they any good and what combination of injectors pump etc etc should i be looking at running with it. Thanks Lee

Ive got one of these on my vl. only running stock pump, injectors ect at moment but still made good power. You can definately feel the difference over a T3. They do feel pretty laggy though.

Starts too come on boost bout 2500rpm and can hit full boost by bout 4000rpm. the power comes on all of a sudden compared to a t3 which is more gradual. Ive got a mate whos car is pretty much like mine with a stage 2 cam and it made 210rwkw on like 10 psi on a stock T03 turbo. You get freak cars though.

i've got one of them turbos sitting in my cupboard in the shed. there not a bad looking think, was in a kit for a 202engine. Thought they would be laggy but damn 4000 thats what my 35/40 is and them to4s would only be rated at 500hp. they are more suited to a larger capacity 6 cylinder.

Yeah like the 250 crossflow it was intended for.I might just go for the old hi flow see what happens...Cheers fellas
