How quick is it? Ok well I havnt gone mad yet but with GTT In car boost controller set to 18psi which is what we run on GTT220-GTT260 if feels (butt dyno only ) around 320 horsepower? Im guessing at 22-23 psi it will give 360bhp with ease. It realy is quick.The turbo spec& sizing feels absolutly bang on for fast road & track too. -Not so small (egR56) that its all over after a 'no lag puff of mid range', and not so big its laggy. A change to the next size up turbo would take it to 400bhp I would guess no problem,but I want loads of mid grunt and instant throttle response. At high rpm its much quicker than before. It feels/sounds very very safe ie no where near detonation point, and its just running Tesco 99.
-All in all very chuffed. Will drive some more tommorow . If everthing stays as is there is nothing needs doing/changing.
Best Regards Roland GTT
