Turbo M-Coupe Nearing Completion

The Bavariacars Turbo M-Coupe is nearing completion. On the last dyno run, it made 400hp at the rear wheels on 17psi. The Owner currently wants braided fuel pressure lines in preparation for more boost and more power in the near future. He hasn't even driven the car yet

The surge tank/fuel pump arrangement is currently being tidied up and the custom-made 18 inch 3 piece wheels show off the red Porsche GT3 calipers (front and back) perfectly.

I'll take photos once it's ready to be driven away!

are you sure he hasn't driven the car? with that kind of boost done to an originally NA motor; he needs to have a lot of internals replaced. this means break in time unless you want a motor that blows up really really fast.

AA's M-coupe dynoed 469.2 at 19psi... really insane power.

kumanchu: He ran in the turbo system for a few thousand kilometres when it was on 4psi and making 280hp at the wheels. Since then it has been re-tuned for more boost and should hit the road next week.

SC5-Charles: 470hp at the wheels is truly insane for a road car! Must be impressive! I tried the link you posted but didn't work.
