...did you also adjust the fuelling to suit?

IMO a noisy turbo is one that is about to spit out some bearings... i would get a second hand one and have it re-built and look into new bearings/hybrid options using the same one (garret T25??) purely to make it easier come the day that it finally goes pop and chucks a load of oil down the hot manifold!

my 200 is upped on fuel and boost, and i really dont think i`m going to need anymore out of it unless i go to silly sized tyres (not whilst SWMBO is around!) ...and then it would envolve other major thins such as portal axles etc.... (to get 40" MT`s - nice) 8)

i`d look at upgrading the brakes firstly, the increase in power increases the break loading.. as does a lift (raises centre of gravity, thus more leverage over front axle) and larger wheels/tyres also leave the brakes at a disadvantage (think of the tyres like a flywheel...)

this means you can then chargeinto danger and be able to brake much later and thus over a route, faster! :twisted:
