    turbo BAE

    Hi Guys,
    Just a touch from France. I was just wondering about the previous turbo BAE upgrade. Is there any modern solution to propely boost my love?
    Attended to a fair solution meaning no such modifications to install???
    Thanks for your help

    Turbos usually require dropping the compression of the pistons. I see the kit there limits boost to 5 lbs. I wonder how much power that adds. I bet it’s hard to justify 10 grand for 5 lbs. boost. I noticed he mentions internal modifications if you want to turn up the boost. I guess you could buy it now and do the internal mods later when your engine needs work for some other reason.

    the kit you are talking about is if you want to keep k jet. He offers a built prv engine with efi and a proper single or twin turbo setup with a renault transmission upgarde or another trans if you want. theres alot of options on his website, ive seen his work on some social media and its bonkers. dmch offers... a stage 2 and they really advance the timing to get thier numbers. Take your pick if you want to chase power.
