Hi,

I am thinking of upgrading my uk 98 turbo with the following,

550cc injectors
fuel pump and regulator
Turbo

I have spoken to Power engineering who will map it for me, they recommend a VF34. I would like to know what car this was fitted to as standard so I can try and source a good secondhand unit. Also any suggestions of another turbo capable of a target 330bhp that may be better.

Thanks in advance

To add to the mix... TD05 (very good value!) or an MD304 if you think you might want more later

Thanks Nom, David,

TD05, MD304 or VF35 it is then, Dont really want to buy a new one at this stage, so i'll have to keep an eye on the For Sale section.

Cheers
