  8. thank for that.........thats good to know :winky:
  9. so what power are you hopeing to see when this is done
  10. whats the point though you can get turbos to generate more than enough boost unless they are using the S/C to create a working pressure i suppose it would speed delivery then but it smells like overkill to me ← mate this is a work of art ;) :D S/C would be used for low RPM,s "ie" standing start, and then the Turbo would kick in at about 5000rpm so the S/C would get you up there very fast and from about 80/90mph the Turbo kick in ..........and when it kicks in you best hold on :D well that the way i would think its setup like
  11. Steve..........it would be nice if we all new who was comeing, like puting the names on the 1st post to let all know :winky: Come on mate do an "UPDATE" of whats what :D

  23. they are maxed out :winky: ← Yep. Not alot more to get out of the standard engine without doing internals and injectors etc ← The boost drop doesn't depend on the fuel feed.
