I spotted 2 turbo kits on Faceache yesterday, one was the normal type and the other a big turbo kit, Worth a search on the marketplace

What boost does a low boost kit run?? Is it just set up on gate??
900 quid for a setup is cheap as, surely??

Think my turbo alone is 1600quid!

most are set on gate pressure you can add an electronic boost controller but the stock ecu ( usually used on low boost setups) has no facility for boost control. Low boost on a totally stock engine is around 220-240bhp at around 8psi, though with a meg headgasket you can run a max of 12psi circa 280bhp.

I loved my last low boost 172, added a huge chunk of torque but it still liked to rev, really picked up its heels. I sold my kit for about 1200ish i think maybe 3 years ago.

Simple setup, should be reliable boost!! 220-240 on gate. Wonder what a 265 makes on stock turbo if ran on gate lol
