cossie 4i: currently running 20psi of boost not had it on the rollers since the rebuild but before with the old turbo/ non ported head or 500cooler it did about 320 at the flywheel on pj motorsports rollers, the greens are at there limit about now so i am thinking either lightblues or greys and maybe some nos just got to earn the pennys over the winter to fund it....

cheers for the comments
