Trying to find a second hand 19t is proving quite hard, only new ones from here:

And I don't really trust either of them.

I like the idea of getting the gold EZK and fuel + ignition chips from classicswede. I'm even more hazy on my knowledge of electric stuff, is it as simple as replacing the ezk, replacing the chips and then giving it to someone to get a map done?

I am now starting to see that achieving 250bhp is a lot easier to do then going for 300bhp+ without doing internals, which I'm fine with.
If you're not already part of the "Turbobricks" groups on Facebook, I would highly suggest joining a few as there is a good wealth of information regarding turbo upgrades etc...

Quite a few of the guys on there run mamba turbos, which are pretty much bolt on from what I know. They are based on a 19T (I think!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193939171142

You'll obviously need supporting mods to suit, which I'm sure you already know
