Been told that turbo is good for 600 bhp. I said yeah, what about the engine. Then he listed of a massive spec. Might have 400 bhp then

What do you think?

Turbo lag, its bad enough getting traction anyway.

0-5000rpm, sub 100bhp
5000-7000rpm 500bhp

Im all for big engines in small cars, but theres a point of practicality over performance, if thats going in a FWD, especially a corsa (not enough weight) then Too much power, would be better off in a bigger shell.

It might eventually get traction in 4th gear. Also, gonna have trouble with space having the turbo that far forward, still got a radiator and IC to fit in yet.

Still, look forward to progress of it, just for the insanity.
