But might aswell go straight to vnt, you could control with a boost can to get you going
Nice and easy to swap out turbos on these anyway, might aswell chuck in an egt gauge while you're there and see how it goes.
I guess so, we will see, its probably not going to get any power mods until after march/april, but i will most likley start collecting parts ready

Yeah its the same engine as the 525, also the P38 Rangerover and Vauxhall Omega.
What is a boost can? Will probably get an EGT guage in before i start looking at upping any power, just so i can guage whats "normal" now, save panicking over it later. If i blank off the EGR which needs to be done anyway it leaves an ideal space to put a wee sensor.
