Yeah you could say that! The intake filter is about 3foot across which is fenced off when they are testing, else 'bye bye'!  All impressive stuff, wont bore you anymore!

Not much more than the Norris one anyways.. seemingly the engine will just reach the same engine output, it's just more tuned out the box..... so what ever you can get out a 330 the 400 will get and no more...
And i'm only repeating what i've been told by a mate in the trade

We build them for the Marine industry, used on huge diesel eingines in ships, plus they can be used on trains, you wana see the size of them in the flesh, sound sweet when they test them though, huge difference from a T4 wind up to one of these bad boys which has an Appeller about 25inches across!

Thought it would be for a ship... I seen the turbos on the trains round my way, they don't look that impressive, but still massive when compared to a car blower

What? You never seen the Norris Evo before 
2.687 to 60, is suley faster than any road legal car is history though, anything that can hit a 10. 1/4 mile, and still be geared to do 200.3 mph is a bit specail
its never set times as good as that before
do you know for sure tho that they did all the tests on the same day without changing anything?

well if the FQ 400 can do it in 3.5 then one with nearly double the power shouldnt have a problem doing it a second quicker
