Don't know the car but it is just up the road from me if you want me to go take a look. I can get you on the phone while there for you to ask specific things for me to look at as well as give a general impression.

I'm sure this said it was mapped by FC performance yesterday.

It did say FC mapped. Looks like the layout of the ad has changed.

Yes I know this Coupe, it has an aftermarket journal bearing turbo 3082 with external wastegate. It comes in really quite late i.e. 4000-4500rpm, but there is potential for improvement and more power with further upgrades and a built engine.

Is that a budget turbo then? I just remember Matt? With his plus that was running 350ish on a Chinese turbo.

Certainly not a GT as advertised, specially with a journal type baring...

Sounds like a similar setup to my Vinci build for Spa 2011, turbos deliver good power even though they're Chinese journalled bearings. Needs a good quality external waste gate and I'd certainly not increase the power on those internals.

It probably is Leon, but is it a Garrett? As I looked lastnight & the gt30 Chinese specials ate £169-£250
