The car has a T-B turbos conversion using a garret turbo; whilst I have heard of these I don't know anything about them. Rival and better know STT kits could boost output to [a claimed] 122bhp and came with an intercooler, does anyone have further info on the T-B conversion

Re: T-B turbo's

tb turbos of lancaster were a good specialist in the 80's.... STT turbo was the other rival company back then,

but be warned , the na wasnt up to all the stress from the turbo. not a good term project.

 

how do i know ? i owned a 300GDS with an aftermarket stt turbo. while in my ownership here in cyprusit was fine, till the new owner blew the engine !
