Thing is...they're really not much bigger at all. They're a nice upgrade (well worth doing on an everyday car), but they're still a pretty small turbo. The T5s make more power mainly because they have a nice modern cylinder head!

Ripping the head to pieces? Not a chance.. Let it be said quietly, but the old engines are stronger than the new ones

Hehe, no problem. It's pretty fresh in my mind, as one of my mates put the 15G off Ryan's 850 T5 on his 940 when Ryan broke the T5.

I forgot to say...more importantly...the fuel/spark management will cope ok, too, as long as you don't want to add too much boost. 10psi should be ok.

The danger comes when you can bolt something up just fine that the computer can't cope with. That's when you break things...

cheers
