That guy in HK is talking BS. In the mag is talking about 380bhp and not 380whp, but, even in a 380bhp is impossible to make it without a fuel system upgrade and a 3" true exhuast. You can see clearly on the magazine, he is only used a 2" exhaust and with the HK emissions law, he is obligatory used a catalizer, so this guy talking he doing 380bhp is all

And also he's talking made 380bhp at 0.3bar???? WTF??? I think that mag is for ricers or maybe they think all of THEM is a completely foolish!!

i wasn't knocking this kit at all. i'm sure it works great, but the #'s just seem a little TOO optimistic.

since when does a turbo rotary have a bsfc of .5 or less? that's one for the record books!

The magazine states 380ps not WHP, and also he has upgraded the injectors, 4 550cc, Walboro 255L/h fuel pump, no info on the exhaust.

Does the article say 380ps at 0.3psi or not?

Also 380ps is about 375hp. Ps is just German horsepower, it doesn't indicate whether it is wheel or brake. They probably mean brake (i.e. engine). Regardless, the guy is just guessing in the article.

Anyway, the title of this thread shouldn't be "380WHP" because it isn't accurate.
