Correct me if I am wrong in any of my thinking or have skipped a couple steps.
What kind of hp could I expect if I upgraded the elements to 7.5mm (guy on superturbodiesel.com does this and gets the parts from a guy in germany can't remember his name though right now) and also upgraded my turbo to say a big holset one (hx40?)? |
I'm thinking the HX40 is a bit on the large side for a DD especially for a 603....
Personally I'm looking at HX35 'Super' for my 606...
Tomnik has the elements in Germany for 'M' type and Derv Tuning in USA fits 'em...
(They MUST be fitted by Proper IP Shop, you Cannot do this yourself--Must be selectively fitted with rollers then the governor set up...)
