It'd be worth getting your man who's doing the manifold to make you a one piece down pipe to replace the cast turbo outlet.

I'm starting off at low figures as I want to keep the cost reasonable but even at 230 it will walk all over a v6 I think. At a latter date when toy funds allow the internals can be changed and then "to infinity and beyond" lol. I still need funds for interior mods and a full respray even though I will spray it myself.

My mate Victor was running 283bhp on his T16 maestro, ok, he did have forged internals, bored out to 2.2, bespoke turbo and emerald managment.

It was running nearer to 300 bhp but was undrivable.

His car was the one the Steve Berry drove on topgear - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYB0TOVMjiU

but this was filmed long before he did most of the mods.

Yep, more boost, forged pistons, Siemens 660cc injectors, dta management, and your on your way

Decent pistons like Arias or JE probably come in around 1k, not sure on prices for dta s60, s/h injectors come up pretty often, and mapping time.

It wasn't worth it for me, I wanted a usable road car, so just went for a bit more out of standard internals.
