thats all sports/motorsports had and lots of the later ones came from the dealer with them on, i think just an m badge on a sport is ok

Re: standard lumps how much booooost

dunno about easily but yeah 20+psi is possible, depends on tuning, where boost comes in and how well sealed your headgasket is and other stuff. A swedish drag racer made 600hp on stock compression and ran 9 sec 1/4 miles with just a welded diff and radials/steels but I dont know how long it lasted, ...

Re: Freakin' awesome! Guess what I just bought :D

i dont mean having all exhaust going throught a wastegate, what i mean is you have a normal manifold and wastegate, to start wastegate is closed and all gas flows throught HX27, the HX27 turbine exit is connected to the H1C turbine inlet, then when HX27 is spooled the 1st wastegate opens and bypasse...

right , i guess you need some kind of non return on compressor exits or you will get your boost braking (slowing) the other turbo down?. A wastegate before both turbos exiting in between, a 40-50mm wastegate combined with what the HX27 can flow should be enuff, I dont know what other type of valve w...

Re: Freakin' awesome! Guess what I just bought :D

making and controlling a valve to bypass small turbo on WOT is going to be the hard bit i think, could you just use a wastegate and put exit into pipe going from small turbo to big one? Would still need one between turbos aswell tho to control big turbo i think
