interested in the Twin disc\another manufacture because people have been reporting chattering with the fx350-400. I don't expect to hit over 400tq with just the turbo upgrade, if 400+tq is even possible. Aftermarket forged internals are also on the list, with the turbo upgrade.@17siturb0 @kshawn
Do we think a bigger turbo that produces 400+ hp on the 1.5T is going to make 400+ft lbs as well? I'm thinking not. For reference I checked out results on an older PRL Si turbo kit and saw 450whp and under 300ft lbs of torque.
While that may dissapoint some, I would venture to say that we'd see fewer blown engines with a kit like that vs the stock turbo pushed to the edge. The rods will welcome a reduced torque limit. (For the base 1.5, at least. Si rod limits are still unknown.)
I live right next to a drag strip so I'd like to get a clutch that can support a good amount over what the engine is producing, just for some extra reliability
