Good man. She should serve you well then albeit i would highly recommend a K&N panel filter in the air box buddy. Been using them for over 40 years now in all my cars.

slightly bigger compressor wheel and turbine wheel. I believe from a TD05 but don’t hold me to it, they don’t like to share too much detail. Seems to spool up better than the original.

I’m hoping so. I’ll have a look at the k&n but I’ve never found them to be that much better. They certainly work out more expensive due to the cleaning though.

Been using them for over 40 years now mate and i am still on a cleaning kit which i bought over 15 years ago too. You could bulk buy a paper filter if you prefered to save money and fit a new one yearly if you wanted to. I have always found the K&N to be an improvement and ive fitted them on a variety of different cars. Best gains i felt was in my little sooty van

OE is a low blow non variable. If your head holds up they can take considerably more.

I did consider a VNT but wasn’t sure how it would react. Ended up going for the TD05 internals. Still on wastegate pressure at moment but there is scope for more boost. If it goes bang I’ve always got a V8 to drop in lol.

Td05 is safe bet. You can tweak the wastegate a little with OE setup and get away with it. Perhaps half a turn if you are feeling ballsee. I’d keep to less as I don’t have spare engine lol. One of Grrrs friends here went bit far we never saw him again. Got fair bit of boost before the disappearance
Further to my 2 red ones, any one like this black one I was in today
Ignore the Tesla in the background that don't count. I was more interested in the V12 with 650bhp under the bonnet

I may give it a tweak, I’m undecided as of yet as it’s driving perfect.

It wasn’t a suggestion
Main reason to tweak the wastegate is to make up for lost power due to age/wear, and therein usually lies the problem.
How many miles you done with the current setup?

It doesn’t really need it at the moment. It’s making boost sooner than the original turbo and has a lovely spread of power. Doesn’t hang about, especially with the larger tyres on. I’m only on 103k.

Big tyres gear it down a bit but I’ve had no long term problems.
That was Stuart. He's got an L332 now, on top of his pile of beamers.
Bought one a couple of years ago absolutely mint, 63 genuine miles and FSH but it looks like the engine liners are knackered after less than 5k.just spent a wad on getting the EAS refurbished a month before.
Having a few more checks to make sure it is the linings and if it is? then will defy loads of advice to ’scrap it’ and will probably looking to put the 2.5 diesel in.

Pick an m51 up for few hundred quid then work on the v8 while it’s out. Would more than cover the cost when fixed.
