For the Astra

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/T3-4-T04E-Turbo-charger_W0QQitemZ330276374276QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330276374276&_trkparms=72%3A1299%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14



I'm hovering over the buy it now button, but I'll need Manifold/downpipe/software

Worth doing it?

Stay well away mate, they are crap cheap jap turbos.
I have fitted one of these to a customers C20LET and it blow the oil seals within 5sec of running, we took the turbo for resealed. When we collected it the place was laughting at how bad the turbo was.

Stay well AWAY, there is a reason why turbos cost alot is garrett, turbonetics etc

Do a seach online for XS Power Turbos or SS Autochrome turbos an read up.

Already have mate, Looking around the £500 mark from him

But I've been offered a nissan 200sx tubular manifold and my dad work at an engineering firm so I'm looking into getting flanges changed

But I have been told the pipes need massaged and pushed further apart on the 200sx manifold so I'm thinking it might be hassle I dont need
