Which turbo for RV8?

[brummiewedge]

I am really tempted to turbo my Chimaera while the road tax has run out! I like the idea of 1 turbo in place of the tea earn cat, for reasons of ease of installation of plumbing etc. What comp pistons? Can anyone advise. Also what turbo, T4? I have programmable ignition/fueling so no worries there.

I'm part way through this. Have done a custom turbo and Jools was looking at the installation. Then I was going to provide a casting in place of the cat and away we go with a low boost application. The next stage would be custom headers (I have Rv8 patterning to modify), twin turbo and a low comp engine build. If I get a chim over here I can start proper design for the headers

If there's one passing j25 M1 it would be handy

Your Notts way are you not? Would this be for a twin turbo?
