   Your best bet would be to phone or email the company.

   Do a search on cituning, there doesnt seem to be much positive about them. My personal opinion, go to dp-engineering

   you cant really say what bhp you can get by bolting a turbo on, the turbos produce upto a specific bhp, you can easily enough get a vts with 370bhp.

   Wouldn't say its easy to get 370bhp!!! Only seen a couple with this sort of power and it didn't come cheap or easlily.
   
   Heard lots of people claim the Cituning kits will put out 180-200bhp (not sure if thats fly or at the wheels) without forged internals, but as they only run at low boost its not too much of a problem. Their stage 2,3 etc kits add things like water injection, fmic, 5th injector etc rather than bigger turbos which aid cooling and fueling and hense reliability, rather than claiming to add more power like some.
   
   As said though, dp are probably the best conversion out there. But cost a lot more. But you get what you pay for

    sounds probably about right, but depends on how much bhp you want.
    
    Your most costly parts will be
    
    Forged Pistons and Con Rods
    Turbo kit inc ex mani, downpipe, turbo etc
    After Market ECU
    
    Theres quite a few other pieces that you want to add to make sure that the setup will run well. You would be best to get an engine rebuild done at the same time get your drive shafts checked etc otherwise that power will disappear quickly.
