It was on the rolling road last week for mapping and at.8 of a bar of boost it made over 390bhp and 220 lbft at fly wheel with a target boost 1.7 to 2 bar.

Pah that's nothing I was at holeshot last year and they had a 500bhp turbo busa fitted into a westy that was used for drag racing. Jack was building a 700bhp version for his land speed busa attempt and the plan was to fit the same spec engine to the westy giving approx 1400bhp/ton!!

was that aimed at me mate??? if so i wasn't having a go at the engine. i was mearly stating the obvious. the turbos DO have very small exhaust housings but thats not a bad thing! lol

they are clearly matched to the size of the engine and the turbine and copmp. wheels used. on an engine of 1.5ltr you are not going to want 1.0+AR housing with two of them and with comp wheels as big as they are (probably 60+mm).

Cheers

Chris.

PS also worth noting that there are LOTS of V band clamps being used! these have only recently started to be used on aftermarket turbos (TIAL do some very nice housings useing V band Clamps)!!
