Just need to source 5 bolt v band adapter for it and external waste gate. Be interesting to see how quickly this will spool? Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

Don't forget this is a "T3", which are less restrictive than the t25/28 flange most you 20v guys are running! I've read on more than one occasion that T3 .48 equates to T2.63 & T3 .63 equates to T2.86..... Might be utter bollox though??! 368bhp @ 1.5 bar
