How do you like your fuelling, correct or erratic and very rarely right?

He means a decent AFPR, not a powah b00st valve wikkidy bo yo. The idea alone that you can call a fuel management device a power boost valve is turd, and only powered by the fact average joe doesn't know what stoichiometric is/means and definitely not how to spell it lol

few years ago when me an mates had all passed our test a mate got one from ebay well over 100 notes, put it on his 1.5d 106

it just looked like a fan on an induction kit.... he ended up putting his hand in the fan lol

they are actually a commercially available air pump to keep the inside of the bilge on grp sailing boats at a slightly higher pressure than the outside, so it keeps water leakage to a minimum.

the science tells you everything really.. on a 100hp engine, to get a 30 hp increase, a turbo will actually use about 30hp, so you've made 60 & lost 30. 30hp is 22kw, now you'd be needing a gigantic alternator to make 22kw, and the wires would be about an inch thick.

he reckons the engine is a combination between the newer c20xe and the older 1, and its on throttle bodies (clearly on standard injection as it has a big SFI box there) its super chipped and its 200hp, no joke, oh and it does 0-60 in 5 seconds with 5 people in it lol. he seriously needs a slap
