a friend of mine who owns a 93 fd has experienced problems with the twins.so he decided to try the single turbo way.he ordered a custom-made exhaust manifold to fit the T04 turbo on it.he finished the modification and so we got out on the street to have a test drive.the results were disapointing.the turbo used to start pushing at around 4000rpm and reached the max boost(10psi) at about 5500rpm.there was also a lack of power through all the rpm band and the car is now slower.the engine is stock all around except the turbo.what do you thing is the problem(s)?
is it possible for a 13bt(even for turboII) to rev a turbo of the T04 size enough to make it work properly?
