OK, the engine is making some good torque, but peak numbers don't say all...........JimGreek wrote:Yes, torque is impressive with the 1.8T. In my measly 243hp I had 371Nm (268ftlbs) !!In the new engine, I expect to see over 400Nm (290ftlbs)

What??? Is this a track only car or a road car?JimGreek wrote:Who gives a f. for 2000rpm? Boost goes positive at 2200 with the small snail. You want 2000, you buy a HyundaiDiesel and work as a cab driver!
Wow! So yo can't floor it at 2000rpm??? That is 1 of the dumbest things I've read in a long time!JimGreek wrote:The dyno operator doesn't goose it until 2500 or so! If someone has enough balls to load a turbocharged engine at 2000rpm (and an Alfa 4cyl alloy engine as such), they'll also be the first to visit the machine shop for out-of-round main bearing webs -and that's no shit! Come on guys, you know better!![]()
