T3 is by far the most likely

If converting to LH2.4 you will also need the right flywheel to go with it.
You could pull out a LH2.4 loom or Elbert Bos that will just plug in with no messing around.

Some goodish news.

Retarded the timing a little manually. No more pinging. Seems to run a little better actually all through.

Definitely a t3 Garrett as for laggy feel. Doesn't come.in boost nearly as quickly as a 13c.

It runs well for now. Feels a bit like a stock 84/85 k-jet turbo. Around the 155hp mark.

Now I can pull the engine with a clean bill.of cobbled together health and rethink it's ECU. If it can pull like this with this jumble there has to be more low end and better spooling to be had with propper turbo ecu.

Definitely good news!

If it's poking out an estimated 155bhp and feels like a stock 84/85 K-Jet turbo, don't forget those were B230 to start with so had more power as a standard engine than the B200 - if you're getting that sort of performance, aside from some minor adjustments i think i'd be happy, you may get a smidge more out of it but it sounds as if you've got it pretty much as good as you'll get it.
