I priced up £10k to get my engine where it would need to be, but much lower spec than this one. 2.2 spins the turbo up much earlier and makes more torque. Can't remember the turbo for 710 but a 9180 efr would be a safe 800 bhp on this engine.

I might drive in lower boost most of (which is still over 400bhp) the time now but I also use it in high, it's nice to have the option and I use low now as my engine is stock, mark feels 1.8 bar is safest on standard so I prefer the safety of low but would be different on bullet proof.

This engine far exceeds my spec and needs but the cost is the same as a compromise so why not? If I bend my car I would put the leftovers in to an 800bhp escos.

500 bhp spec is more cost than selling my engine and upgrading to this one.
