Default tuning question

my tuner manage to get 380 whp and 600n/m @ 5000rpm. at around 94% duty cycle. boost at 1.7 bar.

my set up is

4 greys
SM4 ecu
GT35
3 inch exhaust
rs500 type intercooler
up rated fuel pump
complete GGR breather
swirl pot
3 layer metal gasket
uprated bolt kit
oil cooler
up rated radiator
fuelab fuel regulator
cosoworth piston


have anyone able to achieve the same result with the same set up?

because he is running 94% duty on greys with a gt35.

a t38 could run that power with half the lag....

or gt30.....

gt35 is 600bhp teritory, seems a strange choice imo , it must surge its tits off if its on a std head and cams

take it the uprated bolt kit is arp stud and nuts....risky over stage3 imo....

they have been known to crack the block, or pull the threads. i used the arps up to 380 bhp, and never had an issue, but have now longstudded for the t4 engine,

They're hideous turbochargers on a 2L YB. For that power you'd be better off with a T38 or GT30 at the most.. Driveability with a GT35 is comedy.
