What turbo does my ST180 have?!?!

[charlie_lingard]

Hi guys, I recently bought a fiesta ST180 which I have been told by the previous owner is running a stock turbo. I recently had a dyno done and it’s running 301bhp to the wheels (337 to the flywheel) with 515nm torque. I was led to believe that stock turbo can only handle 270bhp max so whag is happening here?!??

It sounds like it's not stock!

Snap a picture of the engine bay and turbo area and let's have a look.

Impossible to tell without seeing. Gotta get under the car and snap a pic of it. Definitely not stock turbo

I love guessing games!

2 dollah make ya hollah its an x47 or some variant r, + etc

Although you are on the tippy top of what it does without fuel mods...

those number are huge and pretty much impossible on a stock turbo even with extra fueling you would have to have a hybrid or larger turbo. Does the car spin its wheels a lot? Do you have a lot of TQ steer? Those kind of numbers is what would cause those things.

Or maybe the shops dyno is really not calibrated correctly and those are not true numbers . A lot of shops have incorrectly calibrated dyno’s its actually more common than people think. A shop dyno is somewhat arbitrary to begin with because not only is calibration important but different brands read out differently and some are more on point than others. Of course you also have every shop wants to claim theirs is calibrated correctly whether it is or isn’t.

So ya we need more info and you have more investigating to do. good luck.

I was thinking that very same thought, but the calibration would have to be WAY WAY off to read those numbers on a factory snail setup.
