GTX2867R or GTX3067R?
Hurdy:
Going to see what the OEM pistons and rods will take first and probably stick some race cams in there. Not sure on the wastegate make yet either. Possibly a 45mm rather than a 40mm. Saw a couple at Autosport with new designs, so looking at one of those maybe. :happy2:
The Clutchpacks will most likely need doing before the internals!
Hurdy:
Hahaa, looks like we were on the same wavelength at the same time with our posts Alex.
The GTX3076 will come later. I like experimenting. The turbos don't cost that much comparatively and I'd most likely be able to get back a fair chunk of each one I use once I take them off. I want a good match of day to day driveability and power, so may even buy two turbos eventually and build the engine, swap into a smaller turbo for the daily and then to a big ass one for track and 1/4 mile.

You don't really need to worry about lag as you laugh in the boost range and always change gear back into the boost range.

A solid 450 - 500bhp just on v-power.

Just had a look into my crystal ball and I can see you saying this in 12months:
"I'm after a solid 550-600bhp, which turbo shall I go for? or should I stick a 5pot in there?" :grin:
