Must be next to impossible to put anything more than half of that onto the road even in highest gear!

Bloody hell that is some serious power, although I can't think having the fins of the turbo exposed at the front of the car is very safe. Having said that I doubt this thing is a road car! lol

Awesome bit of kit, all be it undoubtedly tricky to get that power down.

The words hand grenade spring to mind.

I find that very hard to beleive

That's some awesome power. Is it really from a modified 1.8? If so, pcc right about the hand grenade, how long before it goes "pop"!

Just aswell it's been built to only do 1/4 miles

I think that dyno readout is a tad optimistic to be honest. BHP figures dont mean jack in the real world, torque is what drives the car. To get that kind of power it would be running some mega lift cams that would push all the power to the top of the rev range where road cars rarely go and with a turbo that large the lag would be like waiting for christmas. Not impressed at all.

Still sounds weedy though. That and it'll go pop.
