No problem with the .55 bar boost on a stock engine in sound condition.
The turbos supplied in the Mosselman kit were fixed at around .5 bar boost.
Did you install the full kit including the supplied electronics?
You want to make sure through the Mosselman engine/fuel management that you set your air fuel ratios to around .85 Lambda as you don't want to lean out under boost.
There was an article in the August 17, 1987 Autoweek written about the man who did my recent TurboTechnics install.
Willy Mosselman stated in that article that the USA installer made the M103-12V go faster then he could.
With a 3.64:1 rear the 0-60 was 4.96 and the 0-100 was 11.98.
My TT 300CE M103-12V TT with the stock 3.07:1 rear runs 0-60 in the low to mid 5 second range and two weeks ago in 40F ran a 14.39/98.68 1/4 mile with no traction off the line.
With traction I should see mid 13's and 100mph +
Who needs a V8 when you can have a 3.0L torque monster ?
