the turbo is T2 with a 0.48 compressor wheel and .6 turbine .<br>the next uprate would be T25 with a combination of compressor/turbine housings , or you could lump for a T3/04 for serious horsepower applications <p> <a href="http://www.dbsmotorsport.co.uk" target="_blank"><img src="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mj.slater/DBSsig1.gif" border="0"></a> </p><i></i>

I presume that any turbo upgrade would also need a rechip to stop the ECU cutting out every other minute? <p></p><i></i>
