Forge REVO Questions (Reloaded)

Here are the answers to my questions to Forge.

1.) The speed governer is upped to 155mph.
2.) Redline is 7k
3.) 212hp

This was for the 180 front trac Coupe.
So this means I will be in Orlando Soon.

Remember the K-03 is still the limiting factor all else considered.

No matter the governor and redline. Upping rpms above the powerband of this engine design without parallel mods the engine itself and turbo won't offer you much if anything. Turbo efficiency has not been proven very good above it's basically stock parameters. Sounds similar to APR's specs.

True Indeed.

I am not looking for neck snaping speed. I am just looking for the extra Umph that most automakers have as currently stock in their vehicles. Neon SRT-4(215hp), RSX type-S(200hp), MB C320 Kompressor(215), Lancer EVO8(271). I love the TT I just feel it is a little , ok a lot underpowered. Granted when it is sitting still it is a beautiful thing, but when its moving some litte ricer in his civic hatchback with a JDM or Integra GS-r engine can blow my little 180 out of the water. I just want to be current on the power scope and not running hp.ux 9 while everything is running linux redhat or hp.ux 11.xx.

BTW know anywhere I can get a K04 cheap..lol
