i have a 380bhp classic and it is insane, it's a forged 2.5 with a 20g turbo which picks up immed and it goes goes goes...
was running this turbo first on a standard 2l engine and that pushed out 280bhp but the power came only at around 4000-4500rpm and when it did it was still easily controlable.

i don't think you'll be disappointed.
No videos yet as i haven't had the chance yet to attend a trackday.

If you were only seeing 280bhp with a 20G then you had some issues somewhere.
I ran a 20G on a standard newage sti motor in my last classic and made close to 400. I then threw some meth at it and made over 400.

It's all good fun for a while but you soon get bored of it.

I'm used to a blob sti with PPP

I am also running a 20g but on a 2ltr block, having to tune down a touch for the time being until I 6 speed it.

Scoobyspares/andy carr have done the work

i was still on the original turbo2000 5-speed gearbox, it already had a hard time handling that power, certainly on track.
