i won't be turboing this engine, i'm just trying to squeeze the most out of it ;) prolly sell it once i get 140kW out of the engine and drop in a 6a13

well from our past discussions (steve & i), i was under the impression that he was going to perform as much NA mods as possible before he resorts to the turbo... *shrugs* :roll:

blow it as in pistons exploding out the top of the engine through the bonnet... sump blows off the bottom and generally chaotic screams coming from the engine bay!
