Think Im at the front of the queue with this one! Watch this space

Would have beat you but got to wait nearly 2 months to get my exhaust made!

[Serdar-S60T5]

would this require some motor upgrades like forged pistons and tranny upgrades and so on? i'm guessing 375 bhp is a little too much power for a T5 engine and transmission to handle on stock parts am i wrong?

[elliot]

The 375hp is fly power, not wheel power right?Do you have a dyno graph yet?Can i see it please?I am curious.

[After_Shock]

As far as I know its definately flywheel power not wheel power. The later engines are stronger than earlier ones so can take more power.

How long your clutch lasts however will probably be a matter of opinion and very much how you drive!

[aeroresh]

Later ME7 cars should take around 400 BHP at the crank without internal mods.

I believe the new hybrid should make around 375 at the crank (320-330 WHP?) although Ive not seen a dyno graph yet. My car's been at VT for the last 4 weeks with gearbox woes so hopefully once fixed and the uprated clutch fitted the hybrid can go on. I cant wait!

this sounds appealing.....

So has anybody got an idea as to the cost of this 375bhp upgrade say on a standard 2002 plate v70 ?????????

I'm sure Adam said it was £350 more than the 19T, so including VAt you should be looking at around £3k or a little less!

We will be putting this turbo onto Hamish's V70 so anyone who wants to come and test drive the demo car are welcome, also Hamish's 19T will be up for sale.

I think the £3K includes exhuast pipe conversion?

My preference is save the best part of a £1K and leave out the pipe.

And after the upgrade:

Partner says - "the car feels much quicker"

T5 Driver replies - "yes dear, those chaps at the VT carried out an oil and filter change, it must be the new grade of oil they are using!"

thanks for replt wasn't sure how much the 19T upgrade was to be honest !
