Plug and Play turbo options for Ds3 155 hp

[gustavovon]

Dears, i am looking for plug and play options. I know that i ll have to do a ecu remap, but this not a problem ... The only options that i find are
the mamba`s and the 207 rc. There is other options on the market ? I any one know how many bhp i cant get with remap, 207 rc turbo, downpipe/catback and intake ?

Welcome Gustavovon,

I've seen a lot of THP's swap for the RCZ turbo, but your other options are as you said 207 RC, Mamba, 208 GTi and Frankenturbo. Frankenturbo is the 'latest' plug and play turbo and has already been pushed past 300bhp!

As for the 207RC Turbo + Downpipe/Catback and Intake, my guess would be around 230 bhp (You can't get more than 250 from RC turbo), but I think you should seriously consider a upgraded intercooler with the bigger turbo... Stock intercooler is bad even at stock power levels...

Cheers

A lot of people on the peugeot forum have issues with mamba turbo i was thinking about it but i will go for a used 207rc/208gti turbo kit

Albish, very good info, i ll take a look at the frankenturbo. My goal its for about 250bhp, so the 207 rc wont be my choice ...
I am already running with downpipe (2,5") k&N inbox and unichip (piggyback), i got 210bhp on dino with 16psi of boost pressure.
Intercooler will be one of my next upgrades.

Eagle, happy and sad to rear about that . Mamba was on the top of my list, happy to read this review before buy one.

Thanks cyclone, i miss that

[gustavovon]

Guys, i am still in doubt about the turbo choice. I have an idea and would like to know if it is possible. I saw a jcw turbo at a good price, if get one of this, and change the compressor housing of a ds3( i know that woul have some body work) it would be a perfect fit on boost pipes and intake ?

Why not use the JCW Turbo altogether?

[gustavovon]

Shiro, i already bougth boost pipes and fmic from forge, i want to keep it. I dont know how would be to adapt the boost pipes with the possition of the compressor housing from jcw. Do you know someone that have do it ?

[Shiro]

You would just need a 180° Hose.

[gustavovon]

Shiro, do you have any picture of this turbo on a ds3 ? I would like to see how looks like.

[gustavovon]

Do you think that the oem inlet will fit on jcw turbo ? oil and water lines too ? Looking at this picture, apears to be easy.

I could measure the diameters (of the JCW Turbo) if you want. But I'm not at home till Saturday...

No hurry, shiro. Thanks one more time for the help !
