If so I find the claimed bhp figures to be highly unlikely, regardless of engine size with the kind of flow needed to feed the 2.1 from a T2 it'll be highly inefficient and just making one hell of a lot of heat.
Torque counts for a lot when it comes to bum dynos. And this is no doubt torquey as f*ck. But I have my doubts over the headline bhp figures people are banding about. Remember the XUD9 usually makes decent power by gov modding it and raising the revs and fuel. A lazier engine, with no increase in revs, I can't see doing anything more than having massive amounts of torque across the rev range...
Its not a T2 its larger. Dont know what it is, its got a hand written serial number on a turbo maker plaque like you get on a hybrid turbo. Also it feels like its limited by fueling rather than boost as its only hitting 19psi (if my gauge is right) but its holding that almost right up the rev range.
The fact its blowing clean on a maxed standard Bosch suggests 150bhp although as I've said before I dont think its quite clipping 150bhp for the same reason as you but everyone else whos been it and driven it does.
The torque and constant power are epic and as Ive said before Im not building this for a headline power figure.
