well for 200bhp.. you wont need nos.. nor a BIG turbo. with a td04 standard internals and mods to suit the td04 you would hit the 200+

If you have forged internals already then there is a vast aray of turbos that you could run with high boost for LOTS of fun.
Some that spring to mind:
TD04L, TD05H, GT2871R, GT28RS

You will see 270ish BHP with the TD04L @ 1.4bar with good spool up.
The other turbos will see 300bhp+ at 1.6 - 1.8bar but will be a touch laggier.
No need for NOS for a street car. Its illegal to use on the roads anyway.

If you are planning on building a drag car then go for it!

The legality of nitrous use on the road varies from country to country, even within the EU. However, contrary to what many people believe (including some police officers) nitrous oxide injection is legal for road use in the UK and many other countries (just as are turbo chargers and superchargers). According to the Ministry of Transport, the Highway Code and the MOT handbook there is no law prohibiting the use of nitrous injection. However just as with any tuning modification, the owner must inform their insurance company and obtain adequate cover otherwise any performance modification would be illegal. Therefore the only way you will break the law by having your street car fitted with a nitrous kit in the UK, is if you fail to inform your insurance company that you have one. Insuring a nitrous injected vehicle has become easier since WON joined forces with Adrian Flux to provide all their customers with a better chance of obtaining adequate insurance cover. Some other insurance companies such as Greenlight Insurance also offer cover for nitrous equipped cars.

There is a degree of confusion over the need to have a hazard warning sticker on the outside of the car. nitrous oxide is neither a flammable nor a hazardous gas but it is an oxidiser. There is a legal requirement for commercial vehicles to display a suitable sticker but this does not apply to private vehicles, which are not even obliged to display a green compressed gas sticker. However, displaying such a warning sticker might well be advantageous to you and the emergency services if you were to be involved in any kind of accident, as this would inform them that you were carrying a container of compressed oxidiser.

This is the power that we got out of a Standard turbo on a forged 4e engine, standard head etc. Car was running 1 bar and 150 shot of nos from memory, zero lag and what a punch out of it.

Hi, to be honest we wouldnt recommend the Hybrid CT9 as you will get very little gains for the money you will spend, you would be better going for a TD04 kit and running 0.8bar to do 200BHP and we will more than certainly setup which ever one you go with.

Keep the forged engine in her! You will get bored of 200hp eventually, when that happens get the nitrous on and get 260-270hp :)

Yeah he said the head bolts were there for you but im sure we can shift them on ok.

Yeah i can sort a kit for you if you want, best thing to do is call in and see me on monday and we can have a chat about what is the best way to go with your car.

Also that would be madness taking your forged engine out to replace with a standard one. Sorry i didnt realised that it was forged from the start so the TDO4 turbo kit is deffo the way to go with it and NOS to really liven her up.
