    in appropriate conditions my 55bhp 1.2 was torque steery.... its down to drive shaft length/way you drive/other similar bits rather than simply blaming the engine

    Great write up. Good,honest,clear information.

    Question, If someone is making there own manifold do the lenths of the manifold pipes leading to the turbo play a big part in how the engine runs.

    For example:

    Cylinder 1 pipe is 4 inches in lenth. Cylinder 2 is 5 inches etc etc?


    What happens if this is the case?

    Thanks again for the write up
