    engine upgrades ?

    hi i have a md103 turbo which i was going to use on my spare engine i have but peaople keep saying gt2554r?
    i have been searching and it doesnt seem that they come up for sale often? or how much they are worth second hand?
    also the gt25r seems to have a very decent output and the noise !!! watched a few videos and was drawn to it
    can anyone shed light on how good a turbo this is with the power output they achieved with different specs just curious cheers

    going to maybe see how much i can push with my hellier performance cylinder head a coupe throttle body and 4psi more boost

    too give comparison

    my car is 2car lengths faster than a wr1 with fuel pump, no cats, full exhaust, map 360hp upto 140mph

    it sits side by side with a fully stripped out 1.8 20vt ko3s ibiza cupra 240hp 1040kg


    it transforms the car, its miles different compared to seb2 put it that way

    The gt25r is a good turbo, it changes the cars power delivery quite a bit, there's more lag than a standard turbo but it will pull all the way to the limiter.

    A good all round turbo in my opinion

    is the exhaust wheel on the md103 the same size as a standard turbo? is it just the inlet side which is larger? could you take some pictures if possible?

    19-20 psi max is where you should be making the power with the 25r... Evil and Arda both made 250hp at this boost... Any more it'll just blow hot air....
