Finally got around to fitting a TD05 18G 7 cm turbo on to a 1.8T powered Lotus Elise
The power chart can be viewed using the link below:

The engine spec was:
Jabba manifold
Ported big port head
1.5 bar boost
SCAT rods
Standard BAM pistons
Inconel exhaust valves
Stainless inlets
It made 345 BHP, so about 25 BHP more than an IHI with a -20 housing. Similar spool, in fact it feels a lot stronger the IHI on the road. Hits full boost by 3800 rpm.
I reckon that with an NA exhaust cam it would have made another 15 to 20 BHP more at the top end. Anybody got one lying around or know the part number ?
