Hey man.. welcome to the forum. i know someone that can get loads of turbos, i bought a mint 8 mr one off him a few weeks back.. think he has some for £500 at the moment (believe there evo 9 ones)
tbh though mate, mitsi will tell you anything to get a sale.. what bhp you running? ill ask some people in the know and will get back to you, as i really dont think it has to be a tommy one
Edit... Also is it a gsr or rs? as ive been told there different turbo's.. if you wanna keep things standard you need a t.m.e, but if its standard youd get away with a different turbo and a good map
Yer you may notice a small drop but if you get it mapped at the same time as getting it fitted (whic you will need anyway) you should pretty much get that all back and have a lot more beer tokens left over!
got it looked at eventually turbos fine could anyone come up with the reason for all the smoke from bonnet vents and exhaust never done it since and is going perfect it has a two stage blitz boost which is also working fine
