Wot sorta speed n BHP figures we talking if I run a turbo kit safely on standard engine ?

Is there a way of getting the manifold in bits lmao. I'm a qualified welder so I can TIG it up myself (cheaper) :P Ive got a hydraulic pipe former at work as well but is there a specific way they have to be built ? Just a thought<

N instead of chipping to increase rev limit would buying an 'Omex rev limiter' do the same job ? Their only £100

Depends on the kit really but easily 190-200+ I'd imagine

You could cut the down pipes off and custom make on yourself yeah, but you'd be going from mild steel to stainless or all mild steel

Omex only really works with turbo cars aswell, there not for raising the limit, they set a lower limit if you run a safe map for daily and aggressive map for racing, only thing it would do is act as launch control
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

200 is nice still.. Double the cars standard figures! Ima look into a turbo at a later date when I've done stuff like the exhaust. Speaking of which is a performance manifold / exhaust system needed to get the most out of the mantzel inlet manifold/ power box. Coz I havnt noticed a significant improvement as every1 has claimed from just putting the mantzel on.

N is launch control worth it ? :P
