[s-cars] 2.5 l stroker

[Mark Strangways]

When I drove it, it was pulling pretty close to 35 PSI.
He had a custom garret / K26 turbo IIRC, not that massive I don't think.

What ended the motor was the turbo shaft breaking and sending little bits 
into the engine, again IIRC.

What I can say, from memory, my 2.2l pulls way better at 25 PSI with a 
Gt30R, and proper tuning than his 2.5 at 35PSI.
I suspect he had much more work to do, and hope he gets the time to finish 
the project. I also suspect that there was timing and fuel issues.
