Nice spotting. I'm always in two minds about the second hand turbo buying. It would be nice to know what mileage it'd done and more importantly, which exhaust flange it had.
very good points
unless you intend to rebuild it, but then you might as well spend a bit more and get a 19 :)
what sort of power are you looking at with the 19g turbo on. Plus say, the rica 304 ecu upgrade. What i mean is, will the 19g give more power than 304bhp over a standard turbo? barbs
sure you can get more out of a 19 but will need a different map i think best to speak to adam or hamish is not just the turbo though its all the intake and exhaust mods too
[QUOTE=t5tart]sure you can get more out of a 19 but will need a different map i think best to speak to adam or hamish is not just the turbo though its all the intake and exhaust mods too[/QUOTE] my exact predicament! a reasonably priced 19t gets quite expensive after youve added mapping and pos a down pipe :(
with 19T and appropriate exahust map expect about 340bhp at the crank.
what os the approx difference between crank and wheels ?? i never have worked it out
[QUOTE=t5tart]what os the approx difference between crank and wheels ?? i never have worked it out[/QUOTE] It very much depends on the car. Expect 270-300 at the wheels. Mine sits at about 282 but adam thinks he can get it closer to if not slightly over 290 with a bit more tweaking of the custom map.
