RE: complete 16v turbo kit
Scott-
I'm surprised to hear you, of all people, say that. If you are
approximately doubling your HP, at the same rpm, this means your torque has
been approx doubled. This would double the forces/stresses on the engines
bottom end. Without modifications, the life of your engine has just been
halved. (not to mention the rest of your drivetrain). Durability is not
totally unchanged....
So, what's half a life? 100-150K miles??!! Ha! That's a no-brainer....
GO FOR IT! :)

Actually, I'm just talking shite for the time being. Brett has completely
built and dyno'd his car whereas I am merely estimating what my final
potential will be. My current spec should get me about 170 at the crank.
Then those throttlebodies should put me over the 200hp mark. Considering
that this power should be available at normal street rpms and without any
bottom end modifications, the durability should be totally unchanged.
Regardless, the props go to our man in Rochester... -for now... :^)
