Is that even possible? Must be a completely custom kit, because I haven't heard of any turbo kits making more than about 330rwhp. Except for the owner of Bulletproof Automotive, but his entire block is built. If you get more info on the car, post a link.

It's not a 600 HP car... but it is turboed.

Speedcraft makes the kit... It's bolt not... Not rocket science.

hmm... how much whp is the owner of Bulletproof automotive pushing?
i'm pretty sure he's not the owner, but he's going through a turbo swap right now, so it'll be some time before we find out the newer/better numbers.

FYI: I have driven the car many times. Drag-tec made their own turbo kit for it.

The 600 HP claim was made by someone who drives a VW, go figure.

The car is fast, and I have not heard any claims of a specific output from anyone that works at Drag-tec or actually knows anything about the car.

I have driven the car in low boost many times. ~8psi max with pump gas

I have driven the car in high boost once, and it was scary as hell. ~15psi with 118 octane race fuel.

In my opinion the car is now only a drag racer. I tried a little back road jaunt and trying to power out of the corners on low boost induced minor lag and then massive power oversteer when boost picked up.
