    Don't jump to any conclusions about the turbo.

    9psi is about right for stock, are you SURE the ecu isn't stock?

    What other signs are there that the turbo is goosed?

    FWIW I've read mixed reports about Turbo Technics..

    as yosser had asked are you sure the ecu has the rica on it and any papers to back it up bigger turbo wise its totaly up to you depending on what turbo you want forged con rods are the best thing to have with a bigger turbo you can run a bigger turbo on stock rods it all depends on the map and how you drive also with a bigger turbo you will need different down pipe maybe injectors and a new map.

    Green injectors should be fine for the remap
    Downpipe mod is essential, in fact to get the most out of it you would need a 3" downpipe ideally and a full cat back exhaust (ideally 3" but 2.5 if you are feeling wimpy )
    Custom oil and water lines.
    Forged rods are most likely needed.
    Good remap and you are away

    No worries Marky. I have dealt with Mick too (got the projector lamps off him) and he was a top bloke.

    I'm not sure what to suggest first, but I wouldnt rush in throwing turbos at it just yet - lots of other cheaper easier things to do first.

    IF it ends up needing a turbo (which I doubt) then they can be had brand new on ebay for about £450ish IIRC - so don't be conned by recons!

    Well my Garrett GT2871R is bigger than that (by the looks of it) and only capable of a proven 400 so I doubt that a hybrid can achieve it either mate...general rule of thumb is that it 'might' give 20-30 extra bhp for being a hybrid....add to that the rod bending tendencies of hybrids and you have a rather large, expensive paper weight

    Yes, thats me





    Assuming the car has a 16T (I think it does??) then I think this is the correct turbo:

    Try JAWharehouse on ebay as they have 19t turbos new for £485+delivery. I would say that your problems will be down to minor faults other than the turbo though to be honest.
