Like the title says guys, what are they like?? what pressure can they push without spilling their guts (safe limit) would it work on an FD??
Not going to be running as a single, but just want to know what they are capeable of!! Reason being, I might have a cunning plan ;)

they are very small and are basically the same as the one fitted to the MG turbo.  i wouldnt expect much out of it at all.  Also they run a draw through system so the su carb is where the airfilter would normally be so fuel and air gets drawn in to the turbo.

Think I might have mentiond it to bally a few times in the past ;) Might end up getting a small single turbo to do the mod with then... any sujestions?? probably want something 1/4 -1/2 the size bigger than the stock twin tubby ;) bigger but not massive if you know what I mean ;) and capable of running 1bar or just over, say 1.2.
