well i'm aiming for 300bhp and I was told I'd want the fuel rail after i got over 230 so i might aswell just get it with the other fuel components and then i don't have to worry about it, not too expensive (the AEM one) anyway.

I think i'm starting to build up a reasonable knowledge of the parts surrounding the turbo but I don't know much about turbos themselves, I keep hearing talk of T3 and T4, what does this all mean? Basically, which turbo should I go for? bearing in mind the power i'm looking for

thanks again

well if you're gunning for about 300 hp, that'll put artound 270 to the wheels,.. the T3/T4 Hybrid is basically a T3 compressor wheel in a T4 turbo housing giving it quick spool times with a T4 flow rate.. (t3 is smaller than a t4.)

That kind of power can be achieved with a t3/t4 hybrid combo, however you might be pushing the limits of the turbo to provide the boost needed to obtain those wheel numbers.
