- stock internals, 100k km engine

- pod air intake with no MAF, stock throttle body and manifold
- Megasquirt ECU
produced 84.4 rwkw on the Deckspeed dyno (fwiw on a hot day in the high 30s)
I suggest that would be approaching the upper limit of what could be achieved with stock internals, and simple external mods (eg no ITBs)



and this is the one doing 1.09s?
that's decent!!!!
Looking for an SVT motor for this:

That's a nice increase. :D
Are you saying that it went from 70kw atw to 100?

NA6 turbo - 140kw atw - not the most powerful but so much fun :D
