    Turbo advice

    Right guys, I am considering buying a new turbo for the 850. I am currently on a standard 15t. What would you recomend I upgrade to and where to buy from. I don't want silly power just a little more.

H&r lowering springs. Mbc. Hlm 304map. 52mm boost gauge with orange needle and black back to match original dials. Tomcat r spolier built into bumper.

    You can go safe and have enough power with a 19t now because mapping has moved on so much.
