Is this the boost pipes i need or 3'' ones?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-TURBO-INTE...d=p3286.c0.m14
Looking at a intercooler like this but the inlets are 2.25'' not 2.5'' and its not too big, seems perfect sort of size for low boost.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alloy-Front-Mo...d=p3286.c0.m14
I think going for a t25 turbo.
Can i buy any dump valve as long as get the t piece of the same car as what dump vavles for?
What bar map sensor should i get, etc.
Im buying a mf2 with 5th injector as going to be using that for time being.

vtr inlet is 2.25" so although most wont use that size pipe its best to use the same as reducing and stepping the pipes will fuck up the boost, plus its around 10% loss in power for every 90 degree bend in your pipe work, try to keep bends smooth and have no abrasive angles, the intercooler thats brand new on ebay is also 2.25" so will keep in good with the system, if your serious about boosting your car do alot of research first mate

Fair shout mate, The Doc as he is called has done lots of VTR conversions and a couple of VTS's too, they have all been running Months now without skippin a beat, Know what you mean about doing it yourself though. hows much do you think it will cost you in total?

But not sure to go turbo or bodies although the sound of bodies would be good and be more reliable on the cheaper option but would deffinately prefer to turbo if can so for same sort of money. Would like to get car around 0-60 in 7 secs and about 180bhp so 200bhp per tonne roughly.

If you go back a few issues in fastcar saxo180 did that with just 'normal' mods no bodies or turbo...

im not to sure about them pipe kits as the saxo is restricted for space so you will find half the kit wont be needed. if you mount the intercooler then take it to a company close to you they should be able to measure it up for you and give you what you need.
