I'm sure I've seen a company somewhere up north that will fit a bigger turbo and remap it accordingly, but I can't remember the name. They're on one/some of the facebook groups.

I agree, if you really want MG/Rover buy a MG ZT190 to start with.

It's not just the peak power, I've attached 2 images, one is the dyno run of my old ZT with a VNT turbo, and one is of a car that has been mapped with the T4 Operators 160 map. Torque is what you really want. Both cars were run on the same dyno which is properly calibrated.

The option of more/earlier low down torque and then more mid range torque across the range, with a little bit more around the top end, is attractive to me as I often travel loaded or towing and that would help nicely on my manual 135 tourer. As mentioned elsewhere, the low and mid torque is what would be nice for me, but big top end horsepower numbers would not be the aim for me. Does anyone know what the torque limits are for the clutch and the gearbox? I do not want to push the gearbox too gar whjilst towing either. |
