sound nice :wink:
what will i need , do you know if the bolt straight on , obviusly full exhaust would show more gain.
Will i need bigger injectors and fuel pump?
at th mo i have smoothed air box pipercoss filter, forge 007p N249 bypass.

anyone know what a n75 does how i would benifit from a nj75


The only bolt on is a gt28rs eliminator kit, you will need bosch 440 or genesis 550 injectors, 4 bar fuel pressure regulator, front mount intercooler as the standard intercooler cant handle to extra charge pressure and will pop open and suffer majot heat soak. You will need a full exhaust, preferably turbo back, you can use thre standard box but its advised to get a cold air intake, you will need the green spring for the 007p for the valve to hold the increased pressure. Remap is needed obviously and in my experience you will need to change all the boost hoses to handle the pressure as they will bulge on the standard

this is just to start lol im in the middle of doing all this, worth it though

Yes simple answer is they are good Turbo's

As the guy says 2 posts above if you upgrade then you need to do other things to make the most of it and to keep the thing running without any probs.

Dont just get one and bolt it on your asking for trouble.

From my cosworth days, the garretts are ace turbos, a standard cosworth T3 will run at stage one tune (270=280bhp) all day long, maybe due to the cosworth engine design, but perfect for a quick MK4, it's just the fabricating manifolds etc etc that will get expensive.
