Mads, I am not at all a turbo expert (or even an amateur) but I have trouble understanding why you want (need) a turbo bigger than a gt17/T25 or equivalent on a 1.1liter engine? These turbos can produce up to 350bhp in a 2.3l car, hence they should be able to move all the air your bike can breath.......even at 15000rpm..... In my ignorance, I though that for a bike, the number one priority would be to have a small turbo with very quick response and short spool up? And the mitsu 15T used in the aeros introduces noticable lag even in the 2.3t engine compared to the smaller t25. On a bike engine, this must be complete dead ....... Please explain to me why and how a gt17 or t25 can be too small for your application (I have assumed that you are installing it on the bike....)? To me, it sounds more like you need to put some effort into the software controlling all this..... Thanks, Mathias Ps...cant help you with the turboconfig of these fans. The mitsus uses turbine #5 or #6 (for the latest aero models). Mads Lund wrote: > "> Perhaps because the Opel engine isn't strong enough to handle > > more power?
