New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Hi guys.
New to this forum and gt turbos.
I'm now the owner of an f plate phase 2, of which I had no intention of actually buying. I sold my m3 a few months back but got bored of not having a toy, so I decided to look for a car that I've always wanted, a 205 gti 1.9.
I spent 2 weeks hovering on eBay, but the only ones I could find were all tracked up/to far away/no tax or test etc. I got bored one night so I but in a best offer on a astra gte in white, but the bid was declined which I wasn't to fussed about as I wouldn't have been completely happy with the 8valve variant. I then continued to look for 205's but to no avail, that's when I started to look for a 5 turbo. After a few days of watching and a 8 second bid at the end I won this one. :)
Needs a bit if a tidy, and I will turn the boost down at some point lol. Am I right in thinking 18 psi on a t25 is around 155bhp with un updated inter cooler and carb?
