Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - high boost @ low rpm torque monster setup

i've been thinking about this too. the race class i'm shooting for, TTC, limits HORSEPOWER (in the 250ish area) but not TQ. so building something that has a boost spike in the low end and tapers off might work really well.

i have seen a dyno of a stock S5 t2, with an exhaust, and it did like 230ft-lbs@like 2500rpm and only 210hp in the 6k area, its like a truck....

and actually on the extreme end, Mr Ko's FD has some boost control problem and it'll do like 17psi on the first turbo, its not as big a difference in acceleration as you'd think.
