Thinking about a USspec (sorta) S1

[Todd Phenneger]

Yea, not a daily driver,
  However, the 1,000hp engine that was "ready for
installation" never actually ran in an S1.  ANd it is
supposedly a 25v version, basically a beefed up
version of the engine in the IMSA GTO 90.  
  Also, they actually didn't run that much boost.  We
had that turbo sitting on the floor next to a k24 a
few weeks ago.  WOW, that thing makes a normal k27
look puny.  Not to mention a k24.  ANyhow, it was
airflow that was the key.  I guess they ran the same
boost on their engines but changed turbo's and airflow
to get more power.  BUt that boost was still high. 
But not up around 30 like some think.  I've heard
18psi and judging by the 911 twin turbo that can get
600+ HP from only like 10psi I guess thats believable.
  I bet the 1,000hp version had more boost though. 
Airflow only goes so far. :-)
  I'll try to find a pic of that turbo.  Yep, found
the pic.  If you want it E-mail me.
