Yes 208 gti turbo has larger compressor housing, similar size to 175THP and BMW Mini N14, should give 25-30 ponies more hopefully.
Would like it on before its next track day mallory park on the 22nd.
Won't be selling it for a long time yet...

What you doing with the hybrid one you got from USA?

Taking it to TRAX? Would come have a look.
Must do a bit of research on the 208gti then, if it has a nice little Turbo on it

I still have it, that one will be going onto the forged lump I'm building.
Thought it would be a good idea to fit a 208gti turbo onto the stock lump as this is no doubt going to be one of best and most popular straight forward upgrades to do to a 150/155THP. I can then do some R&D with the mapping side.
The charger came off a salvaged car with only 10,000 miles on it, a bargain for £250.

Peugeot 208 GTI turbocharger is now fitted along with a new JCW exhaust manifold and braided oil feed pipe.
Ran it up to temperature this afternoon and all good to go.

" cough". " cough" just give it some beans lol they won't keep up with you anyways lol

Well been out for drive and made some logs with new turbo, even with current map boost behaved perfectly as it should. Drives so much smoother at low rpms round the town. Decided to take it on a much more "spirited" run down a local bypass, torques right through lower rpm and pulling hard still way past 6000rpm. I'm intrigued to as what figures it puts down on dyno [emoji573]

Lucky you Jamie.....mine will only pull to 4750rpm!

Sounds impressive Jamie

Sounds rapid Jamie. Were there scorch marks or "Back to the Future" flames on the tarmac on the bypass?

[Jamie@SPTuning]

It's definitely made a huge difference.

[Gerb0l]

Sounds promising. Any noticeable increase in turbo lag?

Well figures are in, I had calculated for 239hp at the crank and wasn't far off.


Some R&D now needed to address the boost control at spool but other than that it's bang on.
