Can't find the part number for the z20let turbo, so i think his local parts dept. couldn't either so just ordered an 55559850 LEH one :lol: | |

quote: There is hardly any difference between the two turbos. The VXR one is like 0.3% (or something) more efficient. They are a direct bolt on jobbie and most people fit them oposed to the stock GSi item as the VXR item is miles cheaper. No need to adjust boost, fuelling or anything. The VXR turbo is not bigger nor a heffer of a turbo. If you fit one the driving characteristic may change slightly as word on the grape vine is they boost ever so slightly harder. Also you wont notice much withoout an upgrade remap. | |

They do flow more I think. Zlet item comes on boost pretyt much straight away, where-as the VXR takes a second or two until it spools up. | |

So are the VXR turbo's larger/better than the standard ZLET item? | |

quote: Same as, they aint much good over 300bhp. Same as the injectors everyone went on a mad rush buying. Rated up to 300bhp... If your going to all that hassle to change the turbo, do it with one worthwhile, and upgrade fueling at the same time. | |

should be fine, if you can get it RR'ed and mapped would be a good start | |

Would it be wise to get a RR day done? | |

My mate has a MK4 Astra GSi turbo and it turned out the turbo and manifold were shagged. |
