30 psi of boost it produced 547hp/610nm at the backwheels, Is it a subie? Options

Not a subie but a type 4!!!!

"took my fastback to the dyno wednesday,its the first time i ever tried
something like that and it was fun and scary Shocked
At 6700rpm and 30 psi of boost it produced 547hp/610nm at the backwheels Very Happy
It didnt respond to the increase of boost the way liked it to,490hp/553nm at 23psi of boost so im gonna make some changes and try to go back
for another session in the next 2 weeks."

some serious hp outta a weenie type4 motor that equals the subie power without all that water weight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That up there with a turbo 911!

Maybe Jake will hurry up and get the boost on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Well, let's face it. None of us take criticism very well. We all think our opinion is the 'right' one. Sometime we (me included) just loose site of the fact that it's only an opinion. And YES, there IS such thing as an opinion in engineering. As much as engine building comes down to hard science and numbers, it's really a balance of a zillion different variables. Each variable has it's own up and down side. The opinion part comes in when each of us as individuals decide which ups and downs are most important for our particular application. That's why I think it's funny (irritating as hell) when people say I'm building MY car all wrong.... That was more like three cents.
