What Turbo is that Andy?
its a borg warner, they use an extended tip for faster spool up... time will tell if they are better that the Getrag GT35's but it should be a long way ahead of the current design of turbos that are std on the noble.The std GT03 M12 has almost no lag and the single turbo conversion is well proven in the states and people who own or have driven them back to back with the std cars say they deliver power more like a NA V8 ie produces peak torque at around 4000rpm and holds till the redline rather than tail away.
My setup is quite different to the single turbos in the states in an effort to reduce pipe length even further and so increase responsiveness so if I've got it right it should drive like a big NA V8 that revs to 8k
I am running a boost controller via the ecu (std on the noble) so if boost comes in too hard I can simply back it off lower in the rev range and feed it in.... I can even have 2 full power maps, one that allows it to come in gently and one that just lets it produce full boost as quickly as possible
Finally got to a stage with the body mods were i'm prepared to post some pics.... still a long long way from being finished but getting there.
Hope to get the engine back late feb, gona map it on the std ecu and move over to the Motec later to prevent it being off the road for too long... want some miles on it before I do some SPA track days.
