What is it that's the weakest link then in the engine when people talking about internals? is it the pistons that tend to go when boost exceeds tolerance?
Thats what I understood one of the main problems to be when I was looking at doing my car.
That and the cost involved of specialist fabrications of manifolds/exausts etc etc. Plus origionality/resale value.
I dont know what kind of H/P a car like T Tonys puts out with his turbo on or what the quoted fig was when they were available as kits when new. I think it was Nick T that told me that a basic 260 engine which really is what mine is now (apart from performance cams) was about 150 H/P so that in it's self is a fair jump from a stock D, however I'm sure a performance exaust would help even more.

It would indeedy, but the bling value would be in the "respect" levels !

PS Only way to tell would be to get rolling road results.
