We don't know yet if it will push water, engine is mega low compression 8.3:1

A friend of mine had a near identical motor setup with a smaller PT94 a PT2000 and was rear mount on his truck and made 900 rwhp at 18 PSI. Im hoping with a front mount turbo, and larger 101wheel and better Intercooler and more boost it will make 1050 on the dyno after tuning. So the 1,200 HP is just my best educated guess on flywheel HP of this car.

If the setup proves to work well and I get all the kinks out I could throw a T6 88 on her and try some drag radial racing but for now I just wanna see how fast she'll go. Car weighs 3100 has a 5k stall and 3.90 gear with 28s" so you all do the math I dunno lol.

Also I dont know if I mentioned but this kit was based on a PTK kit originally which was steaming trash.. I had a little T4 PT88 but could only fit a 3" DP and had a micro 2 1/4" in out a2w intercooler and 2 1/2" charge pipes it was all wrong I got completely ripped off by those ******** right before they went out of business. NOT WHAT I ORDERED!! Anyway the car made 575 rwhp with the little turbo, and a break in tune (14* peak timing and 10.0:1 AFR) I ran it around as a full weight street car at 3700 lbs and it ran 10.80s with a 6 speed. Never had any issue with the brake booster being connected to the intake unless people all know something I don't lol, like if I need a check valve or anything on there.

That sounds like it makes sense but on the other hand they are sharing common plenum so the pressure and vac
Should balance out and I can see it affecting one cylinder more than others
If it was a
Massive vac leak but once there is vac in the booster it wont take any more I ain't worried.
