This Question has probably been asked numerous time.

About 8 months ago i purchased a standard G plate Raider with 3 previous owners.
The car is in excellent condition with 2 small rust patches. 1 around lower edge of windscreen and the other on the passenger rear quarter at body kit mounting hole.

I have wanted an other five for almost 10 years after selling a standard Phase One, Electric Blue C plate and regretting it for ever.

The Raider is now under going a full restoration and i should get it back from shot blasting in the next 3 weeks.It then goes to have a new rear quarter fitted and windscreen surround fixed prior to a full bare shell re-spray.

The question i have is what turbo would suit the car best.
Garrett GT2554
Garrett GT2560
Garrett GT2854

Engine Spec will be as components already purchased. Wossner Pistons & Rods, Steel liners, 285 Cam, valve springs & vernier, Fully lightened and balance bottom end by Agra Precision engineering along with Uprated gaskets.

I want the car to remain looking as original as possible but have that little bit extra.

Depends what kind of power you wanna be looking at and what you prefer characteristics of, T25 is popular choice, as is T28

I'm looking for something responsive but nothing to mental perhaps around 200 bhp mark. The car will be used as more of a toy in good weather. I want the car to be reliable and user friendly
