Come on lets test you're metal you clever arse turbo boys!*evil*

At present I run 13.4 road legal weighing in at 474Kg 155 BHP aspirated, and of course I am cosidering building a top spec turbo motor, what are you're thoughts as to spec and is it worth the move from aspirated to turbo.
I am thinking hybrid T2, 7:1 compression, phase 2 cam and maybe nitrious. 13 " wheels & 3.7 : 1 diff.
There is no substitute for experience, and I only have experience in aspirated. So good constructive information would be greatly aprisiated or are you scared of some good stiff competition?:cool:

I'd do a higher CR- nearer 8:1 and use mapped ignition. Nitrous will make big gains with one injector in the carb intake; no charge-stealling worries then.
Phase2 cam is a reasonable start point.

With your weight, a 3.7 diff - if you can find a clutch strong enough - will likely take a 2nd gear launch. Not continually, but it will probably last an AvonPark...
