Pressure outlet, didnt fancy using the outlet on the manifold, would get a better boost reading and control for the wastegate from the housing.

Yep, Sent it away for inspection and it needed a full rebuild, they said the last car it came off had thrown a tip causing bearing and shaft damage. it had a new shaft, bearing and impellor. S**t happens at least I know it\'s a pukka turbo now

Bin on the drive now for 3 months!!!, im hoping for 400+, if i could hit 400 fly power I would be happy. Thing is it\'s on standard port\'s, that\'s what\'s gonna hold me back a bit.

I remember reading an american forum and a guy with an FC made something like 401 FWBHP but it took some doing.  The Rew\'s larger ports will help so its deffinately possable!

How long.......come on......summer\'s approaching! :D

sorry about that dude. I did only sell it on for what i paid for it. The description on there website said it was in working condition must have been why it was cheap. :mad:
