Similar spec to what had many moons ago, I was running 24psi though and I made 220 @ Wheels. You need to run higher boost to get the most out of the bigger turbo and bigger head.

I would guess around 220- 230 @ fly ish

More boost! Otherwise there's no point in having a low comp engine.

18psi is a tad too much for std cooler,will lose you power too

Good point. I didn't even notice the lack of decent intercooler on the spec

Sounds like it's really coming along John, I will have to have a good look at your thread if it's moving this fast!

I still can't find a decent S1 for reasonable money that isn't a fookin rotbox! They seem to be few and far between now!
