If you are thinking of putting that turbo on a 1.6 there would be no point you will only get boost on the motorway when the rev's are around 5k,. For a 1.6rst you don't want to go any bigger the a t3

I'd query the .42 (probably a typo)as a atge 3 should typicall y have a .48.

In my experiecen the .48 is a little too laggy so a swap back to a .36 housing would be beneficial.

Look on ebay and on here there was a few for sale if your going for the tall block type then it won't have 16 on the front if it's bored out then it will have 16 on the front don't forget you will need to get a chip mapped from someone like grove garage £200 odd for the chip and mapped then to have it mapped on the car is about £400
