I was spamming youtube and came across a gallardo TT and a motorbike racing in america and this was the firm who tuned it. ( the Gallardo just dissappeared into the distance)

To say the least I have now put this on the christmas list and going to be a good boy for the rest of the year to get one.

Ah well I can dream, but reminds me of the german tuner Koenig and his bonkers ferrari with TT and a supercharger.

Up to 1500hp sounds like a nice idea in theory, but...

...even assuming that any sort of transmission upgrade can handle the extra power, would the car not be pretty much undriveable in anything other than a straight line? I personally think sometimes that tuners get too carried away with what it's possible to do mechanically, and come up with insanely modified cars that can't actually channel all the extra power and torque in any sort of manageable way!

The Americans love doing this, makes them scary fast... like bike fast.

The video above is a well known young lad on luxury4play.com

yes 21 at the time of shooting.

The company that does it has a back order of people waiting for these conversions (months), at any one time they have over 50 Lamborghini Engines "on the bench". They apparently do it to the Murci as well!

Boost can be adjusted so can drive at almost stock for track etc...

Wasn't there a guy on here (sure it was PH) who had the green twin turbo G, with 1000 BHP? Prep'd by UR, he talked about how he had ran 10k miles without fault too.

Apologies if I'm getting forums mixed up, original I know but think his user name was something like TTGALLARDO

I know the guy you mean - can't remember his exact handle, but I've seen the vid of him scaring the bejesus out of his Mum in it!

I've been following these beasts on LamboPower for some time now. UGR have modified at least one Gallardo for someone in the UK, a 560-4, I believe. (The Internet being what it is aside), their work, & that of Heffner Performance, appears to be exemplary.

Correct - I've seen that UGR 560 run at silverstone - was having turbo problems at the time if i recall !!
