Which coupe do you own?
What power do you want from the car? How much money do you have to spend? How do you want the car to drive?

i have just bought myself a 20v turbo bit of a clue there Si! As suba says, you really need to be setting yourself power targets and budgets as you will also need supporting mods with a turbo upgrade!

Don't try and choose the turbo - make decisions on what you want the car to do and the choice will be made for you.
For example
Budget Power aims Spoolup revs
If the answers are, £3k - £4k, 350 bhp and 3,500rpm, then its a Gt28RS 0.86 or maybe a GT2871 0.64, together with the ancilliaries that would be needed to run the boost required (FMIC, filter, fuel pump, exhaust, chip/remap, boost controller etc etc)
However, if your answer is £1k, 275bhp, 2,500rpm, then you're looking at a GTi-R hybrid, G-Tec 1 chip, K&N panel filter, PRV set to 1.2 bar and a RR session to check the fuelling

The reason that i was looking to upgrade was beacouse i think the mannifold has a crack init(or so i was told),it makes a bit of a noise when it is cold but sounds fine when it is warmed up!, but i was going to have a mannifold built for it to fit the t3/t4 as i have a new one which i bought for my calibra turbo but i have recently sold her and bought myself a 20v turbo coupe and i must say i am impressed she isnt as quick as the calibra (yet) but i can see promise. If anyone has any advice on the little beastie it would be much appreciated.
cheers snakecharmer

A well-modded 20VT will be more than a match for a tweaked Calibra However, unless you're going for over 450bhp, don't bother with the custom manifold - stock is fine. Also, you might as well sell the T3/T4, as it probably wouldn't be suitable for the Coupe anyway - the 5-pot lump responds quite well to small turbos (I'm at 400bhp from a GT2871) There's VAST amounts of tuning info on here - get reading

The build will be on going so i will be spending with just the readies at the end of the month... i was just looking at maybe a turbo upgrade, intercooler (front )upgrade, chips, blue flame exhaust, induction, dump valve, le kit and lowering, i will be getting the standard alloys referbished and coloured black. obviousley i would be doing the other upgrades to go along with the power upgrades(leads, plugs, fuel pump etc) around 300bhp would be fine for me

Go for a GTIR hybrid turbo (uses the standard 20vt mounting on the DP).
Alternatively go for a Garett GT2560R (AKA GT28R) - different mounting and is a more expensive roller bearing unit.

more than a GT28R probably but you need loads of bits to go with the GT28R to get it to fit. call Turbo Dynamics and ask them about the MD238 - their code name for the GTiR hybrid.
