Turbo choices
If indeed my turbo is on its way out, can some of you experienced guys recommend a good choice of turbo for a relatively standard setup?
I will be buying a stage 1 or 2 MAP from Danno but cant stretch to the 364 kit Or will you be making a turbo which will work with your MAP kits as well Danno??
What I need is specs so I can go to a UK co. and say 'I need this' as postage from America is too expensive...
Can anyone help???

That's the idea behind our GURU-364 kit. A properly-sized and matched turbo bundled with or MAP-2 kit and 65-lb/hr injectors.
If you want to get the turbo yourself, look for something with a 700CFM flow capacity. The ability to generate a 2.3-2.4 pressure-ratio at 35-lb//min of air-flow. For low lag, you want this point to be on the right-edge of the middle efficiency sweet-spot on the turbo's compressor map.

Hi Danno,
I thought the 364 kit included other stuff too?
Is there any provisional pricing on the kit then, as I assume this would be cheaper and more effective than piecing the same stuff together?
Could the turbo be used by itself if its available until funds allow me to buy the rest?
My parents are probably going on holiday to Florida in the summer so I might be able to get something delivered to their hotel and they can bring it home for me...! Thus saving import duty and carriage.

STAN,
Im in UK as well,
I am also after a map kit and bigger turbo etc from GURU, I haven't heard about the 364 kit, but have been away from boards for a while-my business has take me away from spending time on my car.Anyway maybe we can email each other as I'm sure it will be beneficial, seeing as we are after the same thing- what do you think- my email address is
rmills951@btinternet.com if you want a chat.

I have done quite a lot of little mods to my car- not engine etc as this is standard at moment and im obviously thinking of Gurus map kit.
eg I redone my calipers to look like modern porsche (big reds etc), with the white porsche transfer instead of the big metal PORSCHE on them- easy to do , done it 3 years ago - still looks great,I would post pics of them on here but dont know how to???plus other tips/tricks i can maybe help out- also for anyone else on here as well if interested.
DANNO:- whats the hp from 364 kit- will the engine/transmission etc stay reliable- 300/330 hp is basically what im after. I was going to order a map kit a few months ago- but spent a while scanning this board for results and help, I found out I needed a new wastgate, so Im thinking better to get it all in one go.ie 364 kit?I assume this kit is in testing stage?
thanks......
