Re: Sprongle S2 Article: European Car

["Joe Rae" <quattro@ptinet.net>]

The engine that is in Sprongle's S2 is the same as the one in the 5000cs
turbo. He is running a 10v turbo in that car. There is a guy in california
with a 10vt 4000 that is producing the same amount of power. I believe that
he is running 18x10 wheels. Other then a wastegate spring and programmed ECU
computer I do not know what else is done to the engines to make them run
that much HP.
