and??? how do they perform mate?

[eddyrst]

ive got a t25 hybrid in mine, pulls really well from 2grand, and feels great when in the zone at about 3.5 grand, makes for excellent acceleration

does seem to loose puff at about 5.5 6grand but up to that its very good indeed,

hits the overboost quite a lot tho as it must be pushing more air than a stock t2, so best to get a 165 chip to go with it and get the actuator set up i still need to do this

the pros of it are

its the same physical size of a stock t2 so is direct replacement,
its got nearly no lag at all
great 0-60 times
keeps the car reletivly standard keeps its value better

cons are

there expensive and perhaps not a great deal better than a stock t2
not as good for top speed runs as a t3
perhaps less reliable than a t3 as its on boost more of the time so not good for motorway driving

best to t3 it so ive heard but this is quite an involving process and i got the t25 on my car when i bort it so il leave it on

hope this helps

now we need sum feedback from the t3 boys

The md39 stage 2 turbo is a much a you can do to a t2 mine was around £900 if you can get a second one in good nick then you will be lucky mine came on boost the moment i put my foot down but for your money you are better off get a t3 you can get a stage 2 for £400 and pay some one to fit it all if you can't

If you over boosting then you need to turn actuator down as you are losing performance and i hope you insurance company know

nooo i seem to have forgoten to notify them

yeah im going to get a 165 powerchip and then have a shot at setting up the actuator myself, oh yeah and ive got a boost gauge ready to fit, so il be able to get it to the right pressure

is it feasible to hold 12psi do you think? say ive got a pace IC

[j7aoc]

Standard frst won't boost more than 9psi so keep it under that as if it go's to 10psi i will go into limp mode stage 1 chip is about 12 psi but most chip are different it's best to get a new actuator as old one can play up the moment you start uping the boost

yeah the turbo and actuator are 4 years old, with receipt for £550 from the old owner, so the actuator [ERRR] be good and with a 165 chip plugged in, i suppose i just shorten the actuator and see what the boost guage reads till it holds 12psi?

You should only turn it a few turn's a one time to see if you at the right boost tou need to take it out on the M-way stick it into 4th gear build up you speed and just before you hit the red the boost gauge should read 12psi if it's not right wait till it cool's down as you will melt your 17 year old finger's off

Go T3 mate - I did and never looked back. not that involved at all. You need escort turbo manifold and down pipe, along with turbo boost pipes from escort. Connect up, weld exaust and your away!!

Don't have to i went from a t2 to a t34 There's alway's some one bigger out there im sure you heard that before

do i need to adjust anything else along with the actuator when i up the boost, ive heard people mentioning fuel pressure etc...

[j7aoc]

Never mess with the fueling just don't leave it to long before you have it tuned on a rolling round as long as it wasn't that before the chip it should be that bad after. When i fitted my first chip i put the car on the r/r it was ok

ditto!! running hybrid t34 on my ZVH am yet to start the her up but Alex recks it will fly top end!! I do miss the quick spool up of the t2 - if i bought another fiesta, i would stick with the t2!

[garyhurn77]

i had the t25 ooff jsamie was awesome little turbo, boosted as soon as you opened the throttle, instant response no lag, and pulled hard!


would recomned one they sound the bollox too

as said above though its cheaper to get a hybrid t3

[jonesy_rst]

gary how do u mean it sounded mint?? i went in my mates r5 gt turbo with a stage 1 t25 turbo on it. it pulled amazing really fast drivable.
