Stock genuine Bosch injectors, something like this?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304156541...IAAOSwfXJhS0N9 Someone on TurboBricks recommended I buy redblockpowered's chips from America off of SwedBrick, how do these compare to the ones on your website?: https://forums.turbobricks.com/showt...48#post6146648 And when you say fitted in conjunction with a bigger turbo, would the 16T or 19T be big enough? |

You could use the housing and transfer the workings from a 016 into it.
As to injectors make sure they are genuine I know my ones are https://www.classicswede.org/shop/ge...-vxr-injectors Chips, no idea on how good any of the ones coming from the US are, since I have great working chips I have not found the need to go out and compare to others. What you do want to be wary of is some vendors of chips turn off the lambda function causing a fair drop in MPG Turbo the 16t is too small really to warrant the injectors and MAF, the 19t is ideal size wise |

It will make all the difference. I have a cone filter on the 360 with standardish B230FT its very loud but there is no way to fit the 940 air filter box in a 360 engine bay.
The 940 air filter is fine there are no upgrades except to make noise. The standard system sucks nice cold air from wing cavity from around the side lights. |

ffs,,,,,,
Can't anyone give the fella a straight answer to the original question????
There are several ways to skin a cat if you want 300bhp from a B230FK....There are 'cheap ' ways of doing it or there are proper ways.... The first thing that needs doing is the clutch, most people uprate to a TTV Flywheel and Sachs 850R clutch which will just about hold on to 300bhp.... Engine wise, you need to start with the obvious breathing mods like an exhaust, you can get 2.5 and 3 inch systems off the shelf but probably cheaper getting a custom system fabricated as i did. If you want 300bhp a 3 inch is recommended... Then a bigger turbo (19t for 300bhp)which will need a bigger downpipe) bigger injectors, a lot of people seem to use the VXR injectors, a bigger intercooler (KL RACING) and preferably a cam which again you can use a Volvo n/a cam or buy a proper one one from KL or IPD. you will need an uprated FPR (Porsche 944 turbo) Then of course there is the electronics....you can either get some generic chips from ebay or it is much better to get a custom map done when you have done all the mods,,,to do this you will need a gold EZK box or a kit from classicswede to convert your ezk to chippable....250bhp is a lot cheaper to achieve,,,, i may have forgotten some stuff bot hope this helps....Damo |

One thing that affected my decision on the exhaust was the downpipe sizing because it has to fit the new turbo, what width + type of connection downpipe would be needed to fit a 19t? Trying to find a second hand 19t is proving quite hard, only new ones from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MSVA8...osi&th=1&psc=1 https://www.speedingparts.co.uk/p/tu...SABEgLCVfD_BwE 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. |

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 |
