Only later BF that had updated rods(and FPV)Pistons run a lower compression on the turbo motor.So yeah, get a NA, and build up a goodun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is awesomeIt doesn't have that lag off the mark like the turbo block and is very responsive on and off boostAnyone looking for a turbo head?

This engine has to be pinging when floored, so a matter of time really Edited 30/03/12 03:25 AM by Ninka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
