For Turbo multiply it by 2.5 and that will give you the max turbo CC capacity engine you can have in there, or multiply it by 3 to get the biggest N/A engine you can put in. That info came straight from the RTA, althought I am not sure on relevant brake upgrades etc.? Regards Damian Posted on: 2007/9/3 1:01
