RE: PERFORMANCE STATS
>BMW M5!!!!!
>standard 30-70 - 6.8 >standard 30-50 - 5.0 >standard 0-100 - 12.7!!!!! That 30-50 time doesnt seem that impressive at all - I would be interested to time the 360 in 2nd over that range - I would have guessed before reading that that it would take about 5s...so now I'm confused! The figures Kevin Strong quoted me for his 360 turbo would beat that - and that was before the most recent upgrades. Phew...a 360 faster than an M5!!! That'd be an eye-opener! 0-60 in 6s, 0-100 in 12, when running circa 250BHP, IIRC. Now 315BHP? cheers James

RE: PERFORMANCE STATS
A TURBO TIMER ALLOWS YOU TO VARY THE RATE OF BOOST MATCHED WITH RPM, OVER A SPECIFIED TIME. THIS OPTIMISES THE AMOUNT OF BOOST USED AND YET SUSTAIN TRACTION. IT IS A VARIABLE UNIT THAT MAY BE SET FOR VARYING CONDITIONS, WEATER, TYRES USED, AMOUNT OF THROTTLE USED ETC.

RE: PERFORMANCE STATS
Those figures are for a Volvo 360, fitted with a B230ET (740 Turbo) engine. This is a custom job, but a popular modification. I am planning to do it myself when I get around to it!
cheers James

SOUNDS MOST EXCELLENT, GOOD LUCK WITH IT. I MAY TAKE OUT 360's WITH MORE CAUTION IN FUTURE.
