Re: Driving turbo build to be remapped
If it can't be done safely I will use a lowloader but if its possible to drive it safely I'd rather do that and save the money and hassle.

Re: Driving turbo build to be remapped
Because I love my lude 
Just to put it in perspective a bit, I once waited 8 hours in Warwick services when I broke down due to the RAC not being able to get my car on a lowloader
Like I say I'll go down that route if needed but if I can run the standard induction setup whilst retaining the turbo bolted to the manifold it just makes sense to do it. Would the fact there would be no pressure building up make the turbo spool too fast for its bearings etc though? Or would there be any other issues?

Re: Driving turbo build to be remapped
I know its doable, I could raise the coilovers etc too but that's not really the info I'm after
