    I was set on supercharger at first but then I was thinking about it and I know they’re so linear and so fourth but that’s also the biggest reason I like turbo because I get that kick so it makes it seem faster even if it isn’t you know. What made you decide harrop for u 

    Similar to Martin, it came down to having instant torque delivery and general responsiveness. Car has plenty of low down grunt now, and power continues nicely higher in the revs. Ultimately, it's an expensive purchase either route (both transform the car) so if you don't have a clear preference in your mind perhaps give Abbey (I'd recommend these guys from my experience) or Fensport a call, and if their demo cars are avaliable it'll help you decide.

    Interesting as I'm running 1st cat delete with stock 2nd cat.

    The Harrop is a nice bit of kit, isn't it?

    Yeah its been great, coming up to a year on this setup. Mark explained that the stock manifold, 2nd cat delete is more restrictive, hence I'm making lower torque and hp, around 265nm, and 240 hub - but have the 2nd cat ready to go back in at the point I upgrade the manifold..I'm tempted to go the same route as you with the rogue at some point..but to be honest the car is plenty quick enough as it is for the amount I'm driving it for now :)

    So one year later on 284nm torque ur rods are fine. Tuning developments turbo gets 235nm torque so I should be also so long as I’m not stupid 

    I think TD Turbo makes c.230lb.ft, so >310nm. Something worth considering..or it was around that when I looked at both options. My spec is similar to Martins, slightly lower as I'm running stock manifold with 2nd cat delete, with Harrop SC.

    How much did it cost you fully ? Did you install yourself too?

    Abbey did the complete install, ecutek licence, mapping etc. similar to Martin in terms of cost. Although the Harrop kit had increased in price by the time I ordered so a little more. I had uprated discs, pads and lines fitted at the same time so breaking down labour is a bit tricky as it was all as one. Would recommend speaking to Scott or Mark at Abbey, both very helpful.
