Capri turbo advise

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, couldn't see a new members section so thought i'd just introduce myself here and jump straight in.
I have a mk1 fiesta and a capri. I'm currently rebuilding the capri and carrying out a turbo conversion with stand alone management.
I have been advised to use smaller T25 cosworth turbo so that it spins up quicker and has less lag but after seeing the price of them I decided to look at other options, a friend of mine who's into volvos has a nearly new Td04 15g and a used Td04 16t but I don't know anything about them, are they any good? capable of powering a pinto and are they laggy? Any help would be great,

Marc

You englishmen with your small turbos...

Too small turbo and you get alot of backpressure in the exhaust and that kills power. But if you are not looking to make more then 250-300 hp its not a big problem for you.

I would choose the Mitsu 16t for a pinto, That turbo is perfect for a Pinto engine. Can produce about 300 Hp and is more modern then the cosworth turbos T3/T25. You will not have a problem with spool with the 16t. I think the max recommended boost is 1,3 Bar with the 16t.

Thanks, looking for a nice useable just over 200 brake, nothing too daft.

Hi.
Here on this link you`ll find my Taunus pinto conversion...well, only pictures for you ofcourse since its in estonian:) but long story short- im using the same 16T turbo form volvo. At stock pressure(think it was only 0,5bar...) it gave me 151kw at the rear wheels and 302 of torque. (i believe thats around 220hp at the flywheel. someone correct me if im wrong)
This turbo is very good for pinto...only...i dunno...maybe should have external wastgate. We`ll see about that. So far it runs great, not too much lag.
