And another league again for common rail injection I expect?
Don't get me wrong here I'm impressed with this 180bhp L series, it's a big step forward in progress as most are stuck with the standard turbo and we finally have some proven results from a bolt on hybrid turbo, I think you guys were stuck at a similar point with XUD's before, and then suddenly everyone's coming out with big turbos/etc...?
I'm keeping an eye on the MG/R forum from the guy who's running this 180bhp L series to see how it fares with long term reliability as all previous attempts at hybrid turbos just gave head lift/HGF issues and not really that much of a power gain, I think the highest was something like 170bhp but it didn't last very long. However that was basically a standard GT15 with a bigger comp wheel - bad recipe for EMP, whereas this hybrid uses a much bigger turbine housing.
Tuned XUD's seem to be pretty strong apart from the occasional thrown rod?
