Not used one but the results are spectacular on scabby net, plus Ian really knows his stuff!

May be able to sort a deal if you decide to get one ;)

I have a billet LM480, with an LM500 compressor wheel. With 10% meth I get 525bhp and 524 ftlb on a 2.5. Spool is reasonable - in 6th 1 bar is around 3200rpm and full bost but 3600rpm. In 4th it all happens about 400-500rpm later.

If you already have a twinscroll setup the LM-series are a fairly easy upgrade, and results from the LM400 and LM450 are superb...but for higher powers I think the twin-entry approach is a bit of a compromise.

Owen Developments have worked with John Felstead and have an amazing genuine twinscroll that gets John 470 bhp and a stonking 540 ftlb from his 2.1 engine!! Much better spool than mine too.

Hi not sure what turbo I have but I have a standard spec c t25 mk 1 Lichfield . Would I benifit getting a later turbo?

I think Iain used a modified VF36 on those so - simplistically - I would think you would benefit, yes. Give Iain a call :)
