The Seer Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just wondered what people thought of turbo charged Westfields? Are these alot more challenging to drive than N/A cars? I'm thinking the turbo torque will unsettle the rear much more than N/A's with less lbs/ft. Can anyone compare? Anybody owned or driven both highly tuned N/A and turbo car? I'm tempted since the turbo car is much cheaper to tune, but worried it'll become a straight line merchant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've had a 300 bhp turbo zetec westfield With a roller bearing turbo and good map you can have v little lag mine made full boost @ 3300 rpm and help solid boost upto 7500 rpm Very very drivable imo.......TURBO its the future My Aeon is evan better....

The Seer Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 But are they alot harder to put the power down than an N/A? Skittish rear end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mine was not - with 888's you just planted the throttle and it held.... get a go in one, you won't be disapointed I guess you need to be a little more smooth but thats all. With the power delivery you could play with it quite easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy turbo Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thinging to go for VX turbo and as Seer said,llosing the tail at the exit off a turn is my concern,but i beileve with not a laggy turbo,and a low set up on boost for the first 2 or 3 gears via AVCR,and with sticky tires will be nice...tell us your ex rim diameters and tyre sizes scooby....
