I am considering going for one of these turbos as well, if some modifications I have planned do not go as planned (uprated 1.2 bar actuator and a Ecutek Megarom remap). I hope to see around 380bhp and a similar amount or torque.

My car is a 2004 Spec C with a 'standard' Bob Rawle Ecutek remap to around 350bhp with standard internals.

Are you updating any of the other components at the same time?

No a VF36, spools quickly I'd be interested to know if the LM400 spools up as well.

I have had the mapped checked a few times but never altered, they have always commented mine likes to be "Reved"

Most reckon the JDM's internals are Ok up to 500 bhp but not a guaranty as things can go wrong at 250bhp or not at 600bhp

800bhp 0-60 in 2.1 sec £400 and 3 year warranty

I looking for 12-15% increase on my bum Dyno and similar early spool as my old Turbo. hence why i went for the lower Powered LM400 and not the LM420/440

Tony you wont be disappointed at all trust me

If my LM450 is anything to go by, where there is hardly any noticeable lag, the LM400 should be even better.

Let us know once its all done fella, im sure your gonna be over the moon.

Overlay your torque curve against mine and you may find it's you that would be "slowing" things up.
