Actually no, none of what I utilized for my set up is part of any kit, :hammerdrill: I put toghether my own set up. The kits you normally find, are -- IMOP -- too limited; therefore, :pistoldouble: too expensive for the $.
By the time I'm finished, I'd have spent the same $ as for a turbo kit, but with 3 times the power (6psi vs 18psi) :rock:. Within that figure I'm taking into account even the exhaust system, water/meth, gauges, labor, etc., none of which are included in any kit available for the TB45 :thumbdown: .

By rule of thirds, at 1.2Bar, should be getting at flywheel 433bhp aprox, torque should increase accordingly, so probably on the neighborhood of 400-500 lb-ft. We'll see, since I switched to lighter conrods, lower crawl ratio (48.98), bigger tires (15 38.5" 16LT), only a dyno will be able to give an aproximate, althought not too trustworthy due to the bigger tires, all I know is that it holds ass :lol:
