This just confused me 

Thanks for all info anyways guys at least I can try sell it with the proper knowledge

  looks like you need r-tech to map them . 

[golfyste]

Surely that turbo wouldn't flow anywhere near enough to get them sort of figures

411bhp.... It's not that big a turbo...haha

[littco]

Even if it was what I think was, then 270bhp is tops...

I reckon what happened was, the previous owner had the original turbo fail on him, he bought a unit off eBay or a online shop and this was available as an upgrade unit for the same price as a stock unit , so why not fit the bigger turbo... Some of these cheaper turbos are pretty good but you just have to remember you can gt them brand new for £300 ....

  i saw they need a different map, not may people run them .Maybe im looking at the wrong thread on here.   http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?action=printpage;topic=210467.0

Don disregard the ebay chinese/toyosports turbos, many people have no idea on how to tune them, I know of a certain someone who has had one running big power for years. Admittedly it was tuned by THE best in the business, its an anagram of T Rech.

Your thinking of the t3/t4 turbo

What are you classing big power?

One more thing i saw on your turbo was you wont be able to fit a silcon tip,it looks grounded off.One coment from a user of these turbos. One problem I had with fitting was the oem tip did not fit onto the compressor housing,I ended up machining mine out as I needed to be on the road that same day . "Bolt on tip only".
