Im running one, picks up so much quicker than anything else ive been in, with supporting mods it'll be so much better.

Brilliant turbo imo! :thumleft:

Cool, I have one on my MX5 and like it so with the extra 200cc I thought it'd be good. Just wondered how much better than the CT20, my old MR2T had a Stage 1 hybrid so never driven a CT20 car. I'm thinking of getting a Celica GT4...

Thats good going. I'm not near i'm afraid, thanks for the offer :thumleft: My thinking was they should be good turbo on stock internals as boost set to aim for 310ish bhp the charge should be nice and cool before worrying about intercooling. My Mazda I only run very low boost 12psi currently, 10.8psi gave me 250bhp, AITs never go more than 10deg C over ambient, admittedly I have a big front mount cooler but great AITs should make for a safe engine.

Anyone running a Disco Potato? GT2860RS, interested in what opinions are
Just bought one of these last week in order to make mt Rev3 into a "fast road car" on stock internals - hopefully getting it fitted in next couple of weeks when I acquire all the bits (its suited to a rev 1/2 at moment). Will let you know what I think but I'm hoping for a slightly faster spool up and improved mid range :-)
