    Default Holy crap turbo is bigger than I expected..

    I receive my actual unit on Monday, but my buddy sent me this pic of his Holset H1E (same model I ordered) on an M20 (2.7Li). I am really anticipating this thing now... but holy crap this is like 3x larger than I had imagined it'd be...

    but that's never a bad thing!!!!

    told ya it was gonna be big, the same hair drier will make a 5.9 diesel push around 330 hp and 750 foot pounds of torque, that would be a stock 215hp/440lb motor with a 10# cam plate, air filter and a 4" exhaust, it would need a about a $600 to hold that and be be good till around 450/950 with a bigger turbo/injectors
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it

    Yeah on the gasoline M20 they're making 420 - 450whp no problem on "low" boost of 18 psi. This is going to be absolutely ridiculous!

    I like that one - looks like a 4" intake with anti surge on the big guy.

    On an M20 they lag making full boost at 4000 or so

    on an M50 with 24v it should be a little lower, im happy with 3500 - 3800
