with the twin blowers, I was only running approx 8psi, made approx 360rwhp, and incredible torque. I could have put more boost into it but wasn't necessary. Yea engine bay was pretty full lol, but had room cause I run a custom bonnet.
Mrs didn't like driving it with the twins lol (was a bit of a handful to drive around particularly when taking off from lights etc) hence why she organised with the mechanic to turbo it before they told me lol, I miss the twins but the turbo is a lot of fun too.
