This sounds pretty interesting, get us prices and specs on how much performance gain it has.

That would be a good idea Bret. If we could get the more powerful 24V system, and power it with a cap, that would work.

I'm curious if Terry found out any info from the people in the UK.

This for sure has peaked my interest! But, we will definately need a higher CCA battery and alternator.

Hmmm...Can we say twin turbo setup laugh

I just e-mailed Turbodyne for pricing and applicability to the Zetec and Duratec engines. I hope to hear from them soon, and I will pass along whatever info I get.

I knew getting that Ph.D. was good for something...getting good customer service! smile
