Bolt on 375bhp? Owen Development Turbos?

DSK · Jun 26th, 2019, 09:22

Whilst just generally browsing over a cup of coffee i came across the following, a claimed 375bhp bolt on uprated TD04 turbo for our Volvos.

Anyone any experience?

To my knowledge, about 300bhp is the limit for the high power T5 engines. From my knowledge, anyone seeking more changes the 16T turbo for a 19T with some other mods seeing 350-400+ bhp.

I like the way they just flagrantly say: ' in conjunction with other engine modifications' which would be significant and expensive imo. Personally, I wouldn't touch anything beyond a 16T/circa 15psi max boost without forged rods. I recently seriously considered a 19T/green injectors/stage 2 map/bigger intercooler etc, etc - but without doing the rods as well it's a huge gamble imo. In the end I decided it was too costly...
