that would be too much turbo unless it was a full blown race car. even then you may need a few more cubes to keep the rpm down.

If you want to make 1600hp sure, hope you have one hell of a engine.

My theory on Turbo sizing is pick the biggest damn turbo you are allowed. If you want the turbos to spool quicker, that is what nitrous is for (sorry, I am an import guy )

I just got the unit last week. Been talking to Jose about the boost leak issues I was having. I have to say you guys treat your customers with A+ service.
