Not seen it before but the bay looks nice. Not keen on the fitment of the bonnet when it's closed though. Bit gappy round the sides.

That's right mate I've been told its a 500hp turbo...

Yea it is. I use to run one on my last Evo. Held power well but there have been a few reports of failures but you usually find turbo technics will repair them no problems.

whats the price on em.

Turbo tech one as well as that one on your post.

Ive spoken with Alan @ engine tuner as before everything started breaking on my motor was going to go with one of his hybrid TTS209 turbos as they offer a buyback on your standard one so pricing is good.

Also TT have updated their turbos now too to make em even better.

I think the s205b is around £1.300 I think I don't know how much the s209 goes for is that one of there new billet turbos?

I ran 2.0 bar and it loved it. We tried 2.2 but it was taking to long to get on boost so we backed it off to 2.0 bar and it made an awesome road car.

As said it's now called the S205b b stands for ball bearing which is the most recent version.

Figures vary depending on the dyno. Mate of mine ran a S205 as well and on one dyno it made 470bhp and the next just a couple months later on a different it made 525.
He also ran 2.0 bar and is deemed safe although TT only rate it to 1:8 bar.

Yea they are around 13-1400 pound

The S209 is a smaller turbo much the same as a Evo 9 80 series only a little bigger.

Cool good bit of info that mate... I thought the b stood for billet?? But your probably spot in I shall ask them tho... It's got an apexi boost controller which he said always reads abit higher it peaked at just over 1.8 bar but it did pull real well.. Just look forward to getting it now then a trip up to Pw pro for a spot of detailing and some carbon...
