No way 700 rwhp on the stock turbo. I’ve seen some crack into the high tens on the stock turbo, but it’s maxed out on race fuel and serious weight reduction.

Rear diff snubber bracket broken

Yep, happened to me when I downshifted to 2nd, showing off to my gf.

I don't suppose someone makes a replacement bracket. The snubber pulled right through it. And the car is basically rust free.

Gale Banks once said for every pound of boost, you gain 7% hp.

.2 psi x 7% = 1.4%

That’s 6 hp for my car (rwhp). Then add say, a 60 degree reduction in air temp. Rule of thumb, 1 hp...

Awhile back, someone posted about placing a temp gauge near the air filter. Got hot at idle, but once on the road it dropped to ambient.
