Had a few issues with my old turbo so with the help of Dave (volvorsport), upgraded it. Also added a strut brace, swapped in dave's chipped ecu.

Turbo is a t3/t4 hybrid. Car feels a lot quicker and i still need to up the boost pressure.
The brace makes a huge difference on the corners. Car handles a lot better with it on.

Gory, you Brits must have tiny skinny hands to try and work around a big huge turbo, a master cylinder and a steering shaft!

(Cue comments about DBS's small hands suggesting he's a pikey after all :rofl: )

Damn that's tight. Good work chaps!
