lol you remind me of my friend with the BPT swap. When he did that swap he said his car would kill my 12 second Integra when his car was only running 10psi.
Remember there are people with 300hp stock d-series too, doesn't mean its good or going to last

I know you didn't say it'll run 12's, its just the way you talk you sound like my friend, very optimistic on power potential of the BPT

Re:Pics of the EGT turbo 56k die
There's some kid around here with one of turbo 1.9L escorts. I've raced him from a roll and beat him, but never from a dead stop. His car is quick. He claims he has a custom manifold and a stock block. This car must have "hi-jackers" in the rear because the car drives around with it's *** way up in the air.
Here's a vid of it running.
These are the local street races that I go to...i've run numerous times down that strip you see in the vid. The escort's run is half way through the vid, if you see "Mugre's yellow hatch" you've gone too far, its right before that:
