The blues will be good as you have the TT ecu. Set the actuator properly using a vacuum gauge as you want the preload at the correct tension so the ecu can cope and control boost properly. What...

Sorry to hear of the problems but the company you bought the parts from has supplied me with parts that were very good quality. These turbos do need balancing though if you change parts and if they...
If your going to the point of new shells and considering arp bolts while there you should change the rods. You can re use the pistons if they are in a good state of repair and new piston rings would...
The chinese turbos are being sold by companies on ebay for more than they cost to them as a lot of them being sold outside of China are just resellers of the chinese turbos. They work very well if...
The 850r clutch is designed to withstand a natural higher clamping torque/force so is a better option in every way. I did run my T5 clutch up to 380lb at 10psi on my small turbo lol though the T5...
Its showing the engine is a little tired but sealing quite well.
By the way I have never used Tim for work either but you have to respect the ethos and ethic he instils in the work he carries out for his customers who become his friends.
The engine in that car linked earlier is not a motronic T5 engine. It is a late T5 engine probably the B5244 T5 engine from the 05 on cars. The most gains for less outlay on these engines has to be...
The angled housing is the better item to have and they are less prone to cracking. The angled housing is a better shape and the outlet is in a better position for the exhaust gas to exit the...
Devils own kits are good robust units at good prices. The new progressive controllers are also a very good item to use.
Its a well tried and tested route in the 850 world to do this. There are companies offering cams with up to 10mm lift for serious power cars so higher lift cams if set up properly can be used very...
If its machined proportionally quite a bit of material can be removed. You still want some weight there so going to far would be unwanted. I would take 1.5kg to max of 2kg depending on the weight...
V70r item was 22mm and the 850 item I had was 21mm so the swap was done and fresh polybushes were used. I think JT has my old one now.
That manifold should be fine to use Paul if you ditch the turbo. If I can find them on the other laptop I'll pull all the flow maps I have for the M series Superchargers. There are quite a few...
The tuned map I found to be very conservative. Best bet is to start from scratch and completely go over the base map given as it is very all over the place and not smooth at all. It does take a few...
You wont need one if your standard regulator is working correctly. It will also cause fuel trim codes to appear with regularity if the car is not mapped to accomodate it. Just buy larger injectors...
One of the best ways for increasing the power output of these engines is head work. Having the head ported and polished properly does work very well and you should be able to get a good target...
If from a T5 those blues should have 0 280 155 830 stamped on the side as its a Bosch part. They flow the same as whites with a slight difference in impedance.
Have you made sure the Crank sensor is picking up the flywheel properly? It could be a case of positioning as this was a manual conversion so maybe something isn't lined up correctly. Take the...
A true full 3" system will always be a better way to go also if well built.
Motorsport developments sell genuine items.
If you have had the cams out the upper head cover is the bearing cover and if it wasn't fitted correctly it may be a cuase of some of your problems or it may not be lol.
If your car is working up to 5500rpm your sensors wont be the problem unless they are breaking down quite drastically. If it's the same after trying spare good sensors its not the sensors. It...
I have some arms I can modify JT if you want that route opened up. I would need to order the balljoints in first so money to cover the balljoints and machining to the arms would be required if you...
Yes the two bolt type.
