why our little fs engine,what kind of a (silly) question is that.lol. think it cant be done? with the gt30, ported intake, built shortblock, beefed-up valvetrain, just to give a genneral idea, it will be a sinch. notice this is why it will take me 10grand alone just on engine and tranny alone with ems to get to this. well, hopefully, I'm no real expert but i'm sure it can be done.

I also want to see this 500 WHP 2.0L. I will tell you that I do not think it will hold together at the levels of boost you are proposing.

Just a quick calculation would see 14.5 PSI of boost giving you very roughly twice as much fuel. 130 HP might become 260 or 270 HP topps??

So 30 Psi or 2 BAR is what you are proposing??? (confused)

No trying to be negative man, I love the fact that you want this in your car!! I'm just being realistic. 500 HP in a Mustang 5.0L yes, a 500 HP 2.0L, very dificult to fathom, that's all.

Later...Brian

no doubt man, I can see where your coming from. Also, this is a goal, I'm not actually sure this can be done also but did you see that +400whp Protege in the Microtech thread(cant remember how much hp exactly). So with a little more work it should be able to get done, hopefully. I don't think it'll need to be 2 bar on the new Garrett GT30 will it?
