I looked at the s510 and that thing is stupid if you put that thing on its side it looks like a mushroom the front housing is huge....... Rated at 1600hp or something,was thinking twins at one stage but a big single should do the trick, hows do you find your twins?

Twins are good, good engine VE, can package them a little easier etc on the downside, more pipework, slower spool v compressor size double of everything to make them work etc etc It all works, just got to setup them up to suit. My turbos are not all that big, basically 3.4L spooling a GT35/37 sized compressor.. they should start making good boost under 3K and be on song by 3500rpm.. giving me 4000rpm to the limiter.

yeah twins are a better was to go for response, but much more expensive as you would know..... have you had the vx on the dyno yet?

Nup.. engines not even in the car at the moment That single of yours will be on boost pretty hard by 3500rpm mate. Its going to kill it.. I'm going to say it will turn the tyres hard any gear till you get off it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
