The turbo lancer is back and some of you remember last time i dusted him by a good 10 or so cars...

Turns out we inspected his car and his motor went to **** the moment the turbo was put on.. the FMU was installed incorrectly.
He wants to run again after replacing pistons and such
Hes again running at 7 psi intercooled this time

His mechanic claims he is missing 100 hp and his dyno peaked at 112hp with the **** motor.

Any opinions?

sounds like a good idea

and the reason he had the 112 hp is because his motor was seriously f**cked up. I didnt notice it personally (besides it feeling underpowered)
when we had it dynoed the chart looked like a richter scale

he opened it up and the pistons were
