Dare I ask what boost pressure you were running to get that figure? Is this much higher than you plan to run on track? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Forget that question - I've just read the first post on the thread properly! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Don't know any further, we told Mark at Owen D what we wanted, and he had mapped the engine before with the previous (duff) turbo so had an idea of its characteristics
Going to try it out this weekend and if its still together, at Silverstone the following weekend. After that we'll think if this is what we need, would prefer to bring the rev limit down a bit, but will probably need to retime the cams a little further
I'm going to dig out the original "Cyrpus" curve (its over with Auto Integrale) and try and compare what we have
Still think my original engine drove the best (so far), but that one didn't last 50 miles!
Also just a little concerned what else we're going to break with all that power. twin plate clutch is positively brutal as it is, and that's when running only 400bhp

Have you some special engine mounts on the kappa?, 560bhp must take some holding down.

You misunderstand, I'm not so worried about the clutch taking the strain, it will take more than I have - more the rest of the drivetrain. Its VERY on-off, even when changing up at full bore on track. I drive 30+ different cars each year so I know its not down to me, can change gear perfectly smoothly in anything else
