now is this the same as the md321t?
i am guessing they both use the same garrett ball bearing core with the modified subaru exhaust housing?
as this is now cheaper than the md321t from andy f which seems to have just gone up!
I don't know what parts Owen use in their turbos, but based on the combination of parts we use, and the consistant results we get, I would never rate the "T" as a 475bhp + turbo, and the Owen exhaust housings are very different to the ones used on the MD321 series.
With regard to pricing, the MD321 series have had a price increase due to Garrett having a price increase, and also the state of the Euro, because official UK Garrett dealers have to buy from Garrett Europe, in Euros.
The prices went up a few months ago, but Mr Forrests IT skills are a little slower than his mapping skills
