    So you've tried the combo then? Spend much time on Vortex? It's very common to have Franken Turbos hit 300hp with Meth and E85. Not to mention JBS04 has bigger inlet and rear housing than the Franken http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk/prod...age-3-supplied Not sure if the compressor wheel size is bigger then franken.

    can you go with the Frankenturbo F23, they make a more power compared to the Franken F4HT, personally I wouldnt go with anything bigger on a k04 cause your just good end up with a lot of traction issues

    Let us know when it is done, will be interesting to see how it is. even tho i would like a bit more power, in the cold weather it struggles for traction in 2nd gear, you can be doing 60 and stab the loud pedal and it will spin one wheel, only gets traction at 90-100km/h

    No , I havent and I wont try it .
    I use to , got sucked in by an advertiser claiming to be the greatest thing since sliced bread , turned to **** . Ever since then my belief has always been take anything said by sponsoring vendor on forum with a grain of salt . If you know of any actual 1/4 mile times with car weight to back the power claims Im happy to analyse that .
