Turbo suggestions

[chips]

Grab a T3/T4 hybrid off ebay and rebuild with garret seals ... Mine has lasted two years with no problem

I like that idea, after checking some prices. I assume it's not a garrett manufactured turbo, just a pattern part?

Can you tell me some more about your car? Stock motor, how much boost, management, etc...

I've just about finished my M42 conversion into a 316 shell. It should be on the road in the next couple of weeks. Obviously I'll be quite bored with no spannering to do so I've started researching turbos.

I'm going to be keeping it low-budget, so I'm going to me using the chopped up M50 turbo ebay manifold and a second hand turbo. However I will be running MS and will be aiming for at least 250bhp on stock mechanicals.

Everyone who has turbo'd the M42 has used a different turbo so I'm not sure what the best route to take is? Turbo options I've considered so far are;

VW 1.8t
Mitsi Evo
Volvo?
Scooby

Those are the most popular turbo applications over here I suppose. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be about right for the M42?

Heres a quick photo of the car

Clutchkick; How do you find the T28? Can you give a quick description of when boost starts to build, and when peak boost is reached. (After its run). And also what are those wheels?
