I was talking with Chris and to get these number we will have to have NOS and i think I am going to get the electronic one with stages instead of buying a bigger intercooler since it will not net me more than hp. So I will betrying this next January.



Thats not true. They said that about the 300 hp and now 400 hp mark before that.

It just requires a bigger turbo and a higher rpm range. He's already got upgraded pistons and rings.

There are lots of built Honda 1.8L engines that put out 600+ HP because they have a huge turbo and they spin 10K rpm.
