which one would be the the best conversion for my 2001 ibiza cupra?
its currently running 250bhp but i need more power to keep ahed of the scooby boys.
which would be cheaper and what parts would i need for either conversion?
does either of these turbo's fit the dp that is currently on my k03s?

IHI wont fit your downpipe, but the eliminators should.
Problem with the GTRS is that it collides with things in the engine bay of the ibiza such as gear linkage etc.
GT2X is your best option. Would cost ~2k all in. inc. remap. 290bhp you'd be looking at.

More talking £3k to get those figures... at least! And thats provided you have everything but the kit, manifold, injectors and mapping. From scratch your talking;

Turbo Kit: £1000.00
Manifold: £300.00
TIP: £120.00
Injectors: £400.00
4 BAR FPR: £45.00
BMC CDA: £235.00
Forge DV: £85.00
Forge FMIC: £650.00
Blueflame Turbo Back Exhaust: £550.00
3" MAF Tube: £115.00
Mapping: £500.00

Not to mention around £350.00 in labour if your going to have someone fit it, and around £50.00 in odds and ends like gaskets, clips, vacuum lines. Then you'll probably want to take it further which requires more cooling so theres Aquamist (£365.00) and Evo Shield (£90.00).

Your existing filter, tip, injectors and mapping are of no use to the GT2X kit.

Prices, roughly from a car with all the suspension and brakes but a standard engine and exhaust you're talking GT2X: £4000.00 ~290bhp, GT28RS: £4500.00 ~330bhp, IHI: £6500 ~350bhp.

he;s got an fmic and a turbo back exhaust and alot of the others.

Put simply turbo kit, manifold, larger MAF, injectors and mapping.

All the rest are added extras, not really crucial to the running of the kit

Pop down and see rob in keltix, they're WON dealers, the only nitrous brand worth considering.
