Either way from what I've seen when the ECU is tuned they react well with a lil bit of extra boost on stock turbo.


What I’m saying is the stock turbo is pants if you want to flow some serious air, you can get enough air to it but it’s not man enough to give any serious boost.

(Not that it was ever meant to!!)

While I agree it shouldnt run serious boost (sometimes less is more). ~21psi is enough to give a little extra cleaner poke, especially low end.

But alas like you say the stock turbo will still struggle to flow enough air to even get much more than 150.

Haha, thanks for the offer but I'm pretty much committed to my 75 now, am getting a bit of a kick out of working on it improving various bits.
Unless of course £150 would seal the deal on your ZT ?? in which case I'd bite both your arms off.
