Pros and cons T2s vs T3s on FRST

What are they? And would you be able to do it with a standard engine it only has a exhaust and induction kit or would it be best to just chip the car with a decent chip and actuator?

It's not worth going T3 un-less you are planning on big mods. You would be as well to get and actuator and chip and see if you want any more than that.

Am I right in thinking you can get a T25 which is in between the power of a T2 and a T3?

If so surely that would be ideal if people wanted a more powerful turbo without the lag of a T3

I'm collecting some info about uprated and hybrid turbo's for my XR2Tii (1.6 CVH EFI, t02 turbo)

I found out that the names T25,TB25, T28 and TB28 are just names of different types of Turbo's .. Not all TB25 will fit the Fiesta..

Can anyone tell me some partnr, suppliers and prices new/overhauled.. .??

I'm from holland.. but looking forward to comming to England @ ford-fair ..

The T02 just doesn't cope with the rest of the mods
Thanx, again ..

thats ONE of the reasons why i'm changing back to T2, you are left with a massive gap where the airbox / induction kit used to be!

if fitted incorrectly the actuator on the t3 can knacker the radiator, and the heat generated from the t3 can ruin ACTs.

Unless you are running high boost it really isnt that beneficial.

Jur - You'll have to have a look into the T25 side of things - the actuator and exhaust housings are totally different - the lotus elise/cosworth ones - these may cause trouble ina fiestas limited space ;)
