hook up a good boost gauge. throw a big turbo on it with no wastegate. and remember how much boost it took before you see pistons flying threw the hood. then......you know

Theres your biggest limiting factor.

Lotus has never made an engine worth a ----.

If you do pursue this, start thinking outside the box. Megasquirt is your friend. Use parts from other oem turbo cars. Make ---- work.

And post ****.

Go find the turbo Impulse forum man. I know there is one, or look up turbo impulse or turbo Geo on CarDomain. I've seen builds of the engine, I BELIEVE, you are referring to, and it seemed to me some of those people were definitely getting alot of power out of those cars.
