How much is 'respectable power'? What else is done to the engine? How far do you plan to go in the future? What do you consider responsive?

More info please.

for that power you'll need cams, turbo outlet, ex manifold, hi flo cat, solid turbo suction and pressure pipes, big radiator, injectors, fuel pump, big AFM (or MAP system), etc etc. Over 310-320ps means big changes and deep pockets.

Cheers,
Rich

Disco Potato is a good turbo you will need lines and a new inlet pipe for it and you will need to spin the houseing (not sure if there all like that but the 2 I have fitted I had too) or a T28 BB will be fine.

Give GCG a call there pretty good :D

at the wheels or at the engine, this makes a difference to turbo selection.

disco will do 350 at the engine no probs, but definately wont cut it if your talking about power at the wheels.

they are talking about the power produced at each wheel, so for the 2 wheel drive cars, multiply that by 2 to get the power at the wheels.

So to get it right u mean for example with KT for example it says he is producing 340 HP so that would mean times that by 2 and that gives u 680 HP at the wheels???
