Hey all,

I've got a standard unopened GC8 (MY99) ej20, the standard turbo is bowing out due to oil seal making a hasty and unwanted departure. See, I'm one of THOSE drivers that likes to keep my left hand free and only has 2 pedals in my footwell, I have been reading a lot on turbos that will go onto my setup and the winner by TKO will be the VF28 I'm picking up in 2 days. I have been informed that anything more than 150kw at the wheels will require the opening of the wallet to do the opening of the engine and replace all sorts of things, whereas another (respected) tuner tells me 220kw atw will be easy without opening the engine. Can ANYONE shed any light on this subject and advise on an ECU that will handle the setup nicely? Many thanks
