I should work, although might not be perfect.

I assume this is a T3 turbo? Does it not have any markings on it to show manufacturer?

With this turbo, your engine will produce 160bhp+ depending on how much boost you run.

Any ideas on how much boost you want to run??

Spec reads worryingly like the Ebay Tosh turbos dude.....

T3 would be nice to 7psi major torque too but no real topend rush if tht's what you crave ?

325i, 7psi, FMIC and MS made 270bhp @ surrey RR iirc
325i 4 psi FMIC and MS made 221bhp but 200+ lbs/ft @ 1800 rpm and held that to 5700 :D grunt like a Tdi anyone, did 40+ mpg too !

decisions decisions

(yes the match is a bit dull......... )

If you ever decided to break the fridge I would be interested in the engine, not the manifolds, turbo etc.
