Go stock turbo, and pass the inspections. Then go crazy after 2005!

I'm not convinced that 180psi is anywhere near 10:1 compression - A fresh FJ20E will get around the 220-mark and the CR is in the low 9's. My FJ20ET was around 180 & the CR is ~7.5:1. Gav, it sounds like whatever you do, you need to get your ignition re-curved to make the best of your setup. The tripples will give you more tuning flexibility than the SU's, but you will also gain more complexity at the same time. Having said that, I know that you can produce over 150rwkW out of SU's, but boy do they have to be heavily modified.... Mind you that was on an L24 turning around 7500rpm & lifiting the front wheels while attached to the dynopack dyno! A set of tripples, re-curved ignition & a shorter diff will yield quite respectable gains. 120rwkW is nothing to be scoffed at - if it's true you should be able to run a low14/high 13 already. Do you have a dyno sheet (with AFR vs power/rpm)?

More food for thought: VG30ET - the turbo is on the left, home market as first consideration I'd say!

Bah, the Z in the Autospeed article is a 260! (At least the rear panel is)
