Come on people, don't forget the electric turbos. At this price they must be good

that is the stupidest thing i have ever seen! who ever buys one of them is a mug!
anyways, i have just taken the wires out for a kenlow that wasn't there(anymore) as we all know its not just power its weight as well! i reckon with that 25oz of crap removed i think i have bought my 0-60 time down to damn near 2.0000008586001 seconds and my power to weight ratio to 5000BEP per ton :shock:
.........that's right its so powerfull i have had to cancel the numbers of horses down to elephants! :lol:

On a serious note, I know one of the big turbo manufacturers has been experimenting with motorised turbos. They work as per usual, just with a small motor to start them spinning. Supposedly this reduces lag as the turbo is already turning at a useful speed when the exhaust gases take over from the motor.
I fancy a ball-bearing turbo for mine, apparently they're so free running you can spin them just by blowing into the intake. Mind you, considering the 300TDI tends to melt if you go much over standard boost pressure I'm not sure there's much point! :lol:

Although this thread has gone way off topic, what do people think of KAM electronic locking diffs as another alternative?
boss:
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! i have read so many threads and heard from so many people that they are a pain in the arse! there solenoid activated which as we all know can seize which is never a good thing! when it comes to things like this i always look at what other people are running because that is usually the best way to go....although i have been doing this allot lately and regretting it soon after......spec lists are almost identical!
and yes i have seen the electric turbo things before i have also noticed that allot of them require a hell of a lot of juice to power them. is it worth it?
