Here is a picture of the Turbo being fitted to my car next weekend.

What the car comes with stock, compared to new one:



Mocked up:



350bhp + is very achievable.

It's a nice upgrade  :cool:
I would bolt up the turbo setup to the engine and just cranke the whole lot in, it's a nightmare to work on with the 4wd otherwise.
I take it your doing the welding for the downpipe yourself? Keep up updated with pictures  :cool:

Cheers. Car currently has a k04 and somewhere between 290 & 300bhp.

That is a spare engine for the track car I share with a mate, but for my car the head will be coming off to fit this. Downpipe will be mocked up by me and my mate, then another mate with an engineering company will weld it all up nicely.

I wouldn't recommend it mate. He has you spending money you didn't know you wanted to spend.
