its the 525 turbo with the compressor with an A/R of 0.60 or somthing...

the pistons will be C/R of 7.8:1 but can be machined down further i belive...

total cost is £1200 iirc to my door

the only smoke should be black under hard acceleration, followed by flames on the gear change

Doesn't anti-lag destroy your exhaust manifold though?

I heard that rally cars use anti lag and thier exhaust manifolds only last a couple of hundred miles because they get fuel to burn in the manifold itself to keep the turbo spooling...

Make sure the turbo has a 247 shaft (Maram), and just watch yuor EGT's and you will be fine.

Turbos that can handle antilag are VERY expnsive. Beyond reasonable expenditre for a few pops and bangs really.
