No conclusion, you have given far too little information to decide if its worth comparing. Such as - same rolling road? operator and test method? gearing? transmission? tyre sizes? wheelspin? temperatures/ weather? rpm of peak hp? curve in general? sweeties in door pocket?

Euan/Tom, As this is based in a T4 how much of it is actualy still a T4? reason im asking is, Can a normal T4 with a Maram shaft Be Modified to the same spec as yours?

2.3 Bar at 3500rpm, 600Hp & Wanting AntiLag is being Greedy isnt it

Just curious

I wouldn't have thought that a roller bearing core would go with the Mar-m 247 shaft though, and it is the full roller bearing design that has gained 400rpm boost threshold. If it can, then I want one retro-fitted to my turbo

I need to have a talk to alan next week about the price of one and how he thinks it would work on my engine, seems like it drives like a T38 but has more scope for power later if needed.
