you can see it here, as it was the main article for this issue of SCC, at the time that was the previous owners car who sold it to my buddy from school, in that article it's putting out like 250 or so horsepower and it was only running on 3 cyl. because one of the rotors in the dist. was rusted.
After my buddy bought the car he had a bunch of motor work done to it, and he just got it tuned yesterday and while only running 18lbs of boost it was putting down around 420hp at the wheels. he was limited to 18lbs of boost because thats all the injectors would allow for fuel flow(while maintaing an operational engine) , so now he is gonna try to sell his other car to uprgade it, and add a stand alone.....he wants to be able turn up the boost to like 27lbs or so break 500hp 
i got a question i know the diesil turbo's spool faster when there used with a diesil engine
do they spool at lower rpms on a gas engine or is just a diesil thing
sorry for the newbie question
