Default RE: turboing help

I wasn't sure if megasquirt got rid of the speed limiter. I know it gets rid of the rev limiter. I have a MTX btw, so thats no problem. Just to make sure....the regular 2.0l non-magnum can never be as good as the magnum right? I mean they can both be made better but its not just the cam, valve springs, and replaceable stuff that makes the magnum head better right?

- The magnum head flows better. Thats the main reason people pick it up. It is cheaper than sending in a head to be ported and polished, and it does the job amazingly well. You can then go an upgrade the cam, valve springs, and you would see an amazing difference.

-Also, using the STOCK MTX clutch, it will wear out within weeks of any hard driving. You should upgrade to atleast a stage 3 clutch if you want to get on the gas a little bit.

-MS will run like a seperate ECU. It won't have anything unless you set it in the programming.

yeah, I knew I had to get a new clutch after that. A clutch that would hold 300hp would be nice. How much hp does a stock clutch hold? I can baby the shifts no problem for a while.

I think i will just save and look for the adapter. If I can't find it by the time I have like $3000 I think I will just swap out the engine. If I pay to have the adapter made then it would cost more to turbo instead of doing the swap. And I can swap to a newer and according to graphite "dumb proof" engine lol.
