next on my to do list for more power :evilgrin:
now id really love the nortech turbo kit but all in at roughly £6,000 i dont think i can stretch to that(maybe in 2 years lol)
is there a budget friendly type of upgraded turbo out there that doesnt cost a fortune?
or is it a bank loan and sod it :P
any recommendations peeps?

Atp manifolds are pants.. Whats the cts kit going for? And what software are you running atm
Its not something you really want to cut corners on to have a good reliable setup

true m8,1 install and do it properly :happy2:
im on apr map atm but will probably have to go R-tech with BT :happy2:

If the turbo and everything else is in good nick that could be tempting though, And possibly upgrade your manifold at a later date..
-
Tsr manifold?

Tsr/nortech is what you want mate

just manifold or full turbo set up?
-
Manifold is the main part really.. You could piece everything else up yourself.. But ofcourse itis easier to just buy a full kit if you got the cash, will come with all lines and intercooler pipework etc then, instead of messing around having to have stuff fabbed up

Speak to Statller for the CTS kits as they are a UK supplier :happy2:
-
The Nortech kit including upgrade LPFP would come in at around £6k fitted. The CTS kit is cheaper, with a GTX turbo rather than a HTA turbo and cast manifold rather than tubular manifold but would save over a grand against the Nortech kit with comparative supporting mods. A little more lag and a little less top end power are the drawbacks, but certainly not a massive issue between the kits.

Cheers for the info John
I've got 2 possible kits to buy now nortech and GT3067
-
I know where there is a brand new GTX3067 lying round, I was going to buy it when I was thinking of BT'ing my ED30.
You would need a rear housing but I was going to get a CTS manifold and rear housing, you can use your existing downpipe then.
On a CTS manifold and GTX3067 you would run 440bhp and a give torque curve with the right bits and mapping.
-
Also if you're going to do it I'd personally go GTX, HTA or Precision.
I wouldn't bother with the old GT series compressor wheels now, new stuff is 10x better..

sounds interesting m8
let me know some more info please :happy2:
