Reliable - not a word you hear often when talking about the Leics turbo boys.

Don't know what you mean rich . Other than sweating power and things coming loose been pretty reliable. As Chris said I made 256bhp don't know torque level as it wasn't on the graph but pulls really well and power all the way to the limiter which is 6800 on mine

Just to add I'm currently running in low boost as don't have a boost controller so only 8-9psi

No comment from me, to much hot air and Torque

If your running 256 at 8 to 9psi then 270 ISH should be achieved at 12psi which is still safe on a zetec. Just need to get the bits now

Wont you turn it down tho 😉

It was mapped with a boost controller so that would be with higher boost (12psi) but don't own one at the min so only running 8-9 psi so more 200-210. The engines we use should be safe upto 320 ish bhp from what people have done before but on a silvertop I'm not sure what's classed as safe

Been in contact via email with boost performance can't say i.m impressed with there responce to my questions probably going to look else where I need the turbo mounting low down basically where my 4 in to 1 joins together. (Clearance issues) probably going to need a custom manifold making.

Just a suggestion - from my experience some places don't take email contact very seriously, I always try to ring first, have a chat, go over the idea, and then follow up the detail in an email if they ask for it. Builds up some conversation so that they take you seriously versus just another "internet hero with great plans in his head but no intention of actually following through when it comes to committing"....

My turbo manifold bring mine right low down its off a rs turbo I believe

Did try ringing several times with no answer, cheers Dean will look into it

just ordered my performance boost manifold from them through ebay and just messaged them to make it a top entry for turbo

Dean didnt mention that he had to weld an adapter plate to the rs manifold to get it to fit the zetec

 

its a tidy design
