Thanks Shane!
Dropped off the muffler to your mates at Performance Exhaust the other day to weld up a hole I found in it. They were busy as!
Dropped your name so I hope I get a good deal haha.

Now fitted with a genuine (used) HKS SSQV
 

Purchased a new turbo today to replace the old tired CT26 the previous owner fitted to my gen 3 3sgte.
Blitz K1-380V.
It is the same as the one pictured below :) I am picking it up in person from a shop in Adelaide next week when I'm there on a short holiday. Apparently has low KMs and is being removed from a ST215 Caldina.
 

 
I will fit the brand new Berk Gen3 dump pipe at the same time the turbo is put on. Should provide a nice HP increase over what the engine has now.
 
Coilover suspension is now on hold. This is much more urgent :)

That's a good looking bov ;-)

Nice - how did you find the K1?  I spent ages looking for one about 4 years ago when I had the *gofastmod* bug and wanted to swap out ct20b on my Gen 3 but couldn't find one in Aus. 
 
And why on earth would the previous owner put a ct26 on the gen 3? Good to know you're fixing that up!

I was shocked when I stumbled across the K1 and just had to have it. I have been meaning to put a CT20b on it to replace the CT26 since I bought it. I only have modest power goals for this car of 200rwkw so the K1 should reach this with the stock ecu (maybe)
 
The previous owner wasn't an MR2 enthusiast unfortunately. 
I think the reason it has a CT26 on it is because the ct20b was dead or no good and the simplest (likely cheapest) option was to bolt on a ct26 in its place. Not ideal at all but at least it works :)
 
Will be nice to see the difference going from a 26 with stock cast downpipe to a K1 with a Berk 3in DP.

Yeah sweet...boost hitting harder and faster, all the way to redline = win.  Berk 3in DP is worth it too, definitely noticed the difference when I put mine in.
 
If you change your mind and want a ct20b, I'll be more than happy to do a swap + cash with you haha.  Very unlikely I know, but worth a shot :P
 
 

Didn't realise you had a ct26 on there. This will kill it. Brings back memories that turbo does. Really came alive after a power fc tune though.

It is definitely worth a shot asking, I would. I will have to decline your offer though :) I'm keen to get it on and try it out.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing how it will perform. I've never run a CT20b or similar turbo before.
What sort of engine mods did your gen3 have and how much power did your put down with the PFC? 
 
If I could get around 200KW on the stock ecu + 540's and maybe 220-225KW with a power fc + injectors that would be sweet. At that power level the Adub should hammer and be pretty reliable.
