The turbo mini lives and it has exceded our expectations. We're being very conservative at this point but with the rev limit set at 8500 and modest boost levels, sub 4 sec 0-60 times are not uncommon (once the tires get traction). We've already seen over 300 hp at the wheels and this is in a very raw state. Stay tuned......
I got to meet the gentleman from LDG, very nice and knowledgeable guy. The car was interesting to check out too. He's running a GT28R at 16psig with 94 unleaded at a claimed 8500rpm redline, all on a stock bottom end and a W10 5-speed! That combo would yield over 300wHP without a problem, the RPM helping that in a big way. Thetubular exhaust manifold was very nice, and the turbo placement is unique. The whole design looks to be done in the interest of making it a possible product that can be installed by a reasonably competent mechanic. As the post says, it is kinda raw looking, but it has huge promise. I'm glad I got to chat with him.
