Last turbo was a 20g but on a 2.5 so no lag really.

The MD is getting all the rave reviews mate for its earlier spool. But you pay that bit more.

The 18g can now be picked up for 300-350 and give figures of 350-370ish

Great little turbos.

If you can wait and afford a MD go for it. I think a 20g might be laggy on a 2.0lt but Bod has been running one a while so he could take you for a spin

Either way it wont be long till you need a new gearbox/clutch/engine

Cheers Dave... Might have to pay a little visit down to see Bod then...

Just put a tube of Molly Slip in the gearbox yeterday as the gear box is on its way out any way.

As for my engine i hope it doesnt go dave its a Forged P1 engine with STI4 heads, and its on around 6k miles....
