Part of the fun of running a way too big turbo (even with tighter housings) on a tuned engine is its impressive looking at modest boost pressure, but peaky power spread.
Peak torque at 5000rpm............chroissst :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Shame it wasnt revving to 8000 at it would show quite decent figures there but id suspect that the cam would begin to limit that off. the fairly sudden drop in the torque trace kinda confirms this.

That car will perform apparently well on a dyno but be relatively slow on the street in everyday fanging around. Even given its a show quality car and perhaps less likely to be regularly street driven that may not matter.

Im just saying is all.

I dunno m8 but for mine, Id be looking hard at that particular setup and think about loosing that clunky old fashioned turbo in favour of something infinitely more suitable for the engine tune.
A lightweight, well chosen BB cored unit would widen that torque peak by 2000rpm and still deliver at 7000rpm making that thing a tyre frying, torque steering animal capable of hosing almost anything!
Currently, id predict it would be close to impossible to drive fast!!!

However, the overall build quality of that thing is simply stunning and worthy of a very, very low bow and very long and high salute from tassuperkart.

Impressive project.

Cheers

AWESOME by the way

Awesome, real awesome! Sheer perfection down to every single detail! Is the seat upholstery original BTW? I like the design, it makes the seats look very good! :D
