Well it's been a year now since i'v had engine rebuild in my little 2.5
and touch wood everything seems to be running ok.
Had a couple of oil leaks from various places but thats about it.
Oh thats a lie, had to get fit paddle clutch from Jetstream.
Fitted a air fuel ratio in dash just to be on safe side.
Running 444 bhp and 465 torque without any probs
Gonna get it on dyno soon as it's run in now
to see if 500 bhp is possible without going higher on torque

GT 28 maybe a bit overkill but they spin up so fast
you get so much more power lower down rev range

Gt28 on a 2.5?..are they are the RS60 or a smaller compressor housing?..i think they recommend 1.8l for a GT28..so that would be 1.25l per turbo...but theory is often proved wrong..as it seems you have done...smile..good stuff

Well noted Chris,will have to dig out specs on turbo's
but your right they are hybrid gt28 with smaller compression housing
Love what you done to your car with mods n colour change
