I guess if you really wanted to, couldn't you machine the compact 2871 housing to fit the 76mm compressor? This is hypothetically speaking of course.

That said, I already lose money on the upgrades and people think its too expensive...
I have spoken with Tony at UMS about this very thing and he thinks its possible. I'll probably do it on my own car at some point to get to that elusive 500 HP mark.

That will be an interesting project Jeff. I have no money to finance this and test on my engine right now but i have 23liters of my own brew beer coming to support you!

The elusive 500 hp make would be really cool to see and I'm sure isn't impossible to hit. Of course I'm still waiting for someone to prove they've hit the elusive 400 hp mark first. Describing what it "feels" like doesn't count.

Jeff, if you hit 500hp you know I'll steal the keys to your car the next time you're in CA.
(even if just for a quick spin)

I thought you stopped offering the upgrades? I went your route cause i thought it was a great deal for both the machine work and the cost of a garrett 3071 plus the little bits that complete it all. Why I am so patient even though I nag every now and then for a status update
If you have the money and the time, you can probably do anything.

The MM upgrade does take a while, but I've personally found it was worth it. Then again I had him out here in person for the initial tuning. The 3071R upgrade is definitely a good choice though, I don't think you will be unhappy.

"Con i "se" e con i "ma" la storia non si fa". Which roughly translates to: with "ifs" and "Buts" you don't make history".dunno about the 500 on the x76 but the 71 can definitely go up to 400.
