I have suspicions it is more than that Adam. That turbo must be flowing a hell of a lot of air at 15psi!

guys on replys guys , all cars and turbos have differnert flow rates and sizes as well ,
this one spools 2500rpm in decent boost at 3000rpm and will pull clean to limiter set to 7400 at mo , but will be set to 8400rpm on the track , going on a data log i did at 8psi its 250bhp riseing to 15psi 320/340bhp once its at 20psi be 400/420bhp 27psi will take it over 450 approx..... starts getting a bit hairy thow :lol:as anything above 10psi in a fwd caddy runing 2wd is a waste of time ,as it will either pull left then to right and chuffing tyres light up ,(fitted bf goodrige too ) ive tryed to get 4 wheels spining and a dam hard with old engine at 25psi

standard ones fit sound as stock on the front heres a quick pic and no rim cutting needed
evern made a jig to re line the rims ,, unsure what to do , asi like how they fit on the fronts, as the tyes wount catch the archers when i slam it

Ashamed?! Look how many fantastic comments you have! Most people at shows cannot say they built their car just bought bits and fitted them or got a garage to fit them. Dunno how many threads on different forums but the amount of support you have so many people would love to see this caddy.
