   they run about 0.7bar as standard can push 1.4 max. this is on a 2.0L tho.

   which would you go for out the two?
   
   if the td04 uts out 0.7bar std will that not be too much for my engine isnt that like 10-11psi i only want to run about 6ish psi but then again i suppose it will be abit less as its only on a 1.6 not a 2 litre

   Cituning 'basic' turbo kit is supplied with the GT17, the bigger cituning kit is supplied with the TD04 off of the Viggen Saabs iirc

    Not sure m8, would have to investigate... dont underestimate the GT17, people say its good for 1bar and the low spool up (2.5/3k) leaves a good power band right round to the limiter (6.8k). I plan to run the GT17 at the stock 6psi and once the f/piston etc have been fitted wind it up to 9-10psi
