Nice engine setup mate! I always wonder how is it to have a 4EFTE engine in my car...

Have you tried dyno-test?

well i had a dyno done before rebuilding it and a knackered turbo @ 0.3bar boost and it was 114bhp...

to say the least i was

but iv had the bottom end rebuilt and got a different turbo on there with a HKS actuator now..
just need to make a custom exhaust then will get it dyno'd.
