I can't see anything on that spec list that would give it the sort of power he's quoting, or is it me?

Power seems a bit high but I've seen more surprising things so I wouldn't be prepared to slam the claims.

NMS and MSD have both had a hand so Stu may be able to advise if he can remember the car

I reckon with that spec list thats capable of making 265bhp BUT not at 15psi and its the torque that i would find very very suprising TBH Either way, dam good spec list TBH i would expect to see about 25-26 psi with that spec turbo to make a genuine 260bhp

Yes, I was wondering about stage 6, never heard of it before. Maybe just put in to impress the boy racers.
