Did your turbo blow or did it blow a boost pipe off?

Injectors limit your power at 170-180
A pd 150 will max your injectors. If you are changing injectors then you can get hybrid and then do injectors and other supporting mods to get your power you want

Well if you lose boost then the soot will be mental. Did the car try to drive itself

Would be intresting to see the knocked out turbo. Have you checked all boost pipes just in case?? Cause when they blow off the car will sound deeper makes quite a high pitch bang too. So just check saves agro. But if not then bigger blower?

Do it so long as the price is right. Max out those injectors. U have the clutch to do it easily
