So it is going to require a bit of homework to replace/fit the standard T-Jet 120's turbo with the EsseEsse's one?

Click to expand... Yes, the oil and coolant feeds are different and the esseesse has different injectors and boost sensors. Unless you can get hold of a full esseesse kit id say its not really worth the hassle unless you are going for big power. A VL36 with an uprated intercooler, induction and a remap will see you at esseesse power

Was thinking of trying for 200. But maybe just VL36 with Forge IC, remap and Abarth injectors should do the trick Already have a decat & Forge induction Thank you for your time mate
