21 PSI, isnt that alittle Extreme?? Your MPG will drop significantly and with that much boost you'd have a hell of a turbo lag.

Turbo lag has absolutely nothing to do with the level of boost being made. It has to do with the sizing of the turbo. Modern turbos spool so fast that turbo lag is a thing of the past.

"Numbers...the 'top end' kit is now giving us 350 BHP @ 340 Lbs torque with 1.5 Bar boost...prices are being worked out as we had to add rods etc (our original engine 'let go' at 335 BHP....)"
Terry, why did she "let go". Rods? IIRC Zetec has an iron crank, did you upgrade that as well? This is the kind of performance R&D I would love to see for the Duratec - find out what really needs to be upgraded and at what point. Nice work, your the MAN!

DAn, after re-reading Terry's post I would bet the rods let loose....he says he had to add rods to that kit so that is why I say it....but damn those are some sweet numbers.......

Terry, is it even possible to turn the boost down when needed on this thing? I ask because the thought of my wife tooling around in my 'tour w/ 300+ HP at the wheels terrifies me just a little And she'd wanna drive it after that, trust me!
