Turbo only based on my crap German. 278 nm is 205 lbs/ft. Nice but not all that earth shaking.

Didn't watch the video

It's a nice setup.. but the video is bring lol

I'd rather see this beast in action than simply reving and standing still.

what a boring video. it was a nice setup though. i thought it was on a dyno the whole time and was waiting for it to really get going. then i saw the floor and turned it off.

Another video from that site. Exciting start. Tires arent that sticky at first.

I Like that open free flowing exhaust sound. Got earplugs? LOL

Keep watching for the "off- roading" part.

I would like to have seen it under a load....on a DYNO maybe?

Reving a engine does nothing in my book. I drove a 530hp Cummins diesel and there is nothing like the sound of a turbo when you mash on it pulling 80,000lbs.

But then again....what the hell do I know.

That's known as turbo shutter. Its when the air going through the turbo starts to go in reverse. And thus trying to make the turbo spin in reverse. What he needs is a BOV, because that's not good to say the least for the turbo, and it will cause it to wear faster.
