Norris Designs - Supercharged & Turbocharged kit!
Let me tell you guys...
I have driven the 1.4 Tsi engine on a VW Golf in Europe and i have to say, amazing. We are talking for a 1.4 liter engine with the low down torque of a 2.5!!! i drove the "small" 140hp version for about 1000 miles but they also have a more powerful version with 170hp and 177 ft/lbs from 1,750 to 4,500rpm.
On a larger scale this will be very impressive. Its 100% doable since VW uses it in a massively produced engine/car.

I would get too excited guys. This kit will be very expensive. And in the end it adds too much weight and complexity to really be worthwhile.
would be sooo much simpler to do it like porsche does with variable turbine. 450tq from 1800-5800rpm.
Bushers project white made 450TQ at 3500rpm on his low reading dyno. and kept pulling to 8000rpm. No one was really looking at that powerband. Most just dont know how to read a graph. But the powerband on that car was downright incredible without adding the weight and complexity.

The Porsche turbo you refer to also is on a 3.6L system, so that helps with the tq quite a bit....Yeah I love that car and it is a blast to drive, but it also costs ~3x the Evo. Of the two, the Evo is better around town
(my kids think so)...The question I would have to ask is what transmission and drivetrain is going to be able to maintain that kind of power for an extended period of time ?

? this sheet?
Anyone know if this ND setup is byapssing the SC or running it like a compound setup in series?

Weight and complexity yields amazing performance increases in this case... yes the cost will be high but you simply cannot achieve these results otherwise.
Considering this setup can produce TWICE the power of the one you posted with almost definitely better spool, I'd say its worth it, if the cost for the whole setup is under 10k.
