the most logical way of turbo charging is200 is to buy mk3 supra 2.0ltr 1g gte in it. you have all the extras and wiring loom that you need.

its also going to be less damage in your pocket.

once yoy have done this buy blitz turbos and manifold from japan which aint that expensive (600).

put all this together with high flow filter and stainless steel exhuast and your looking at 400-500bhp is200 and have changed out 2500.

plus you can sell supra parts for extra cash.

o and this engine is twin turbo as well.

PS that engine is also delivered in the LEXUS/TOYOTA SOARER to make a long story short get a cheap project car so you have al the parts and do an ENGINE SWAP.

I'd like to see you get 400-500 bhp from the 1g without a standalone ecu and single turbo. And then for £2500, possibly not.

Shoot them a mail and ask them? It's a nice looking kit, and if it delivers the 56% power increase (~85bhp, taking it up to 230-240bhp) that'd be nice. I'd leave the dumpvalve off tho...
