I had very similar mods to you and have the aps sr40 turbo which should give you in the region of 370/380bhp and similar lbft.
Do you have a 3" decat system

[rocko]

Nah not de cat ... its a 100 cell sports cat .. mot reasons

[jd]

with similar mods and an AndyF td05/20g i was getting 385bhp.

[rocko]

So would i be right in saying that .. its as easy as bolt on then dyno .. and ecu re programed

Are they about £850

Withthe spec you have, this would be my choice of turbo as well.

Not as expensive as the Garrett based hybrids, straight bolt on, will give you 480 BHP ish (or more if you want to push it) and the standard intercooler will be man enough, and at least as good as the APS one so if you want to save a few quid put it back on and flog the APS. You will just require another Re-map which will cost approx £200-£350.

WR1imposter will probably disgree, but if you want to spend the amount of money an APS SR40 will cost you, IMHO there are better turbo's out there.

Why would I disagree, we all have opinions, just because I chose to have mainly one producer of tuning mods rather than heinz 57 is the reason I had the sr40, and yes its a good turbo and yes there may be better out there "in your opinion" and others who have them fitted !


The down side to the sr40 is the cost but you pay for quality

Now that's one place MM will not agree with

In hindsight I agree !

[marky mark]

I meant 380 ish, not 480!

Nice to see your as miserable as ever and still taking everything as a personal attack Pasty!

[rocko]

yeh i guessed thats what you ment .. Yeh whats that all about .. you pair fell out .. or summat

how much you think AFP .. would charge .. to do the work ..? Aprox

[marky mark]

Just a bit of banter Rocko. Pasty is a top geezer (honestly) but he is as cantankerous and opinionated as i am. Basically we enjoy disagreeing!

Who mapped the car originally? I am assuming Chris Davies at WRC? Not sure Andy F does a 'fitting' service any more to be honest.

Where do you live?

[rocko]

Oh i get ya thats ok then ..

Yeh aussie chap Chris .. who mapped it .. seemed to know his stuff

i live in stafordshire..

[marky mark]

If you want to go for a one stop shop, the place i would recommend within a reasonable distance would be Paul Blamire At Zen performance in Northants.

He will supply, fit, and map a TD05/06 20G and he does know his stuff....far better than any one WRC tech ever did. Good rates as well by all accounts.

[rocko]

oh Nice one .. i ll give him a bell too to see whats on offer ..

You goin to the rolling road day at DS Automotive.. ..?
