1.8T internals can handle this much power?

Wouldn't you at the very least need new rods?

I would like to think they knew what they were talking about, I hope they do in fact. My experience tells me thay do not tho. Good luck to them, I certainly could have saved 30k$ if I had beleived this true. But more than 1 hi-end engine builder said it wasnt possible, my experience agrees. But nevertheless good #'s and good times. Just have a big basket ready to hold the parts.

30+ psi, C16 fuel or Nitrous?

If this car is so fast and makes so much power, dont you think ATP would have used the 1.8t challenge to prove it? Only thing is that the 1.8t challenge cars had to run a cat and run "unleaded fuel". Which might have been why they were not there and it was held right here in their own state of CA.

Does seem like an interesting turbo, powerband looks a lot like mine feels, but that one levels off and mine seems to make more boost till 8k redline, spikes boost at 31.7lbs at 7900rpm. I will have to get a dyno run, but the turbo seems very similar to my k26/k27 hybrid as far as where it does what xcept at end.
