Tom - I'd say around that yeah.

Eb - Not sure mate, would have to run quite a lot i would imagine though, but im pretty sure thats the max they can flow, anything more and you'd need an even bigger unit.

Im running 21 psi and its holds that. The unit that is on my golf has been modified and been tested to take 50psi before it failed so i know the unit can take alot more but 21 psi is giving me enough power imo.

I have been advised that the 236.1bhp at the wheels is approx 290bhp at the flywheel.

is that on standard internals

if so go no further

the conrods are the weakest part of the engine and only good for around 300lb/ft

I would also hope that using the KO4 turbo he has used the conrods from a similar engine as they are much stronger than the 150/180 versions

Lovely car mate
