Yeh that turbo is a very good turbo, they stopped making them a while ago, nice and cheap too.

A lot of people like that KKK turbo because it spoiled up so quick, just as quick as the twins, I think mainly due too it having a much larger turbine wheel than the comp wheel from what I remember.

Pretty sure KKK turbos became borgwarner turbos too

Looks like an external wastegate but its a good price and only done 8k....manifold must be upto the job as well...
Mmmm.

Yeh that manifold does look a bit burnt but if it work it work, it looks like the cheap Chinese ones BUT they work, I bought one to use but ended up making one lol. The waste gate runners needed opening up a bit inside as they weren't cut out properly but that easily done with a Dremel. Dunno what the waste gate is either? Maybe an hks one? But a replacement one ain't too expensive

Grant Monkhouse

Manifold actually looks better than the eBay ones. Just had a closer look and comparison.

How long do you get on the eBay buyer returns/dispute before you can't make a claim?

Ill ask some questions.
Seller came back tome nice chap. Said sorry but they were good on his car and i said ill get a price from AET or suchlike for refurb...im wondering if dropped by RM as the cardboard box was beat up.

Yeh maybe, postal service ain't so Royal anymore

I dont know...ill look into that.
If i go single with that turbo i need bigger secondarys. And a FPR?  The new walbro 255 enough?

You could run it on what you have got as you don't want much more power, however you will need an electronic boost controller so you don't run too much boost for the injectors you have in. But safest bet is for an upgraded set of rails and injectors and an FPR. Fuel pump should be good I think

Yeah Royal Mail...i insure anything over 200 quid now lost £200 when i sold the wilwood brake set up for the westy...they smashed the package open.
Ive just sold a Snap On Solus Pro on ebay for £400.00 i insured it and delivery for £31.00....so not bad and piece of mind!
