hey rus, welcome to the site..

could always get yourself a powerchip/unichip, get a dyno tune etc etc..

check out the turbo mods area, there maybe some useful info there for you :)

cheers for the welcome.
has anyone that owns a sri t done the powerchip or unichip? and wat dif do you think it made? can get them for about a grand. i had mine on a few dino's and they say it runs rich and the boost drops away after 2000rpm buit rises again abit at about 4500rpm. will the chips hold boost on for longer? and do they also lean them out much? sorry for all the questions but noone knows how to do much to them

Yeah champ plenty have, have a brouse around the Turbo section, there is plenty of literature on the subject.

I personally started out with an Electronic Boost Controller (EBC) but it made the car run richer, so I got a custom dyno tune...and I'm very happy indeed...

Try this >>> http://opelaus.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=16

When you are in the forum index you can scroll down to "Technical Area" and you will see "Turbo". Also there is a new sub section inside the Turbo section called "Turbo Mods Area".

To get to the Forum index click on "OpelAus" just under the "New South Wales Forum" link which is under the banner...

Hi Russ,
Welcome, i won a turbo and have just had a Powerchip Gold installed and but would recommend getting it done. If i did it again i would look at something that can be reprogrammed eg UniChip.

Once you start doing a few mods you see the beast is quiet responsive.

Hopey
