you wanna stop going to this turbo centre. they obviously dont know their stuff. Well not about GT's. Stick with this place mate, its all you need to know.

I reckon turning the boost up should see 145-150 bhp.

nice 1 TT 145 to 150bhp is more than enough to blow away the local corsa n saxo crew (hehehehe) will be stickin with the club mate every1 who i met or spoke top on here no's there stuff am just not very confident under the bonnet doin stuff myself

wouldnt turn the boost up until the seb is on mate. the seb adds more fuel so when you do turn the boost up it's not running lean.
i have been told a full exhaust system on the gt adds about 10break from standard.(don't know how true this is though). you won't be seeing hardly anything from the filter, imo probably 140-145 ish dependant on what series of gt
