My chances?

Obviously not constent, as itl be switchable, but im wondering weather to go for it. As changing to F28 + phase 2 is a heck of alot of money!
Just dont want to blow it up

I's not the power it's the torque spikes that will kill it, if you a considerate on the gearbox it will be ok, phase 2 and F20's have been ok, evil to 2nd and it won't last long.

Damn it

If phase 2 has been ok i may test the water with phase 1

The 20 of F20 is a tenth of the torque it can with stand, So 200lbs of torque, which be close when running 260bhp!!
Go with F28.

To be honest why not try and source an f28 then do the tuning. rather than do it one large lump?

If you start being tight with a turbo it'll bite you back tenfold.

Saying that Darren had a diff on his f20 with a let and suprisingly held up
