+1 more info needed... Are we talking about clipping the turbine, or something more substantial...

There is a thread that I posted with RB's analysis on upgrading stock turbos. Would be interesting to see your analysis and what you found in R&D.
If I can get a turbo that makes 500whp on a mustang dyno with linear powerband, I'd pay lots |

thats a nasty number to get on a mustang dyno... my dyno kinda showed that a fbo n55 with a little more tuning may reach 330 whp max on a mustang. At that point the stock turbo is just out of breath! My guess is if your going to go much higher than that, your tq would be insane as mine was already 382 wtq and i'd start to worry bout internals / clutch etc...

So... All we need is a turbo that doesn't run out of breath up top. Then we are golden. |
