rodney 17 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Not that easy to answer. Is it new or Used???

chazrad 16 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes it will absolutely, but it all depends on the size of the pulley that it comes with. The smaller the pulley, the faster the turbine will spin at any given rpm, and thus the more boost it will make. More boost eqauls more power. A V1 should be good for 290-300 bhp at about 8psi (0,5 bar), which is realtivley safe on a standard engine. Just be aware that you can't just strap a 'charger to an engine and expect endless power without it adding extra strain on the rest of the engine. If your engine is tired, I'd at least do the chains and tensionaers before adding boost. Else, you'll be heading even more quickly for an engine rebuild. Longevity and reliability then add power!
