    He thinks that if i put 19t turbos on that my motor will blow.

    I tried explaining that the limits of the 2 bolts were around 500 hp and the 4 bolts were 700 hp i believe. He also thinks that at that power level, a stock timing belt would pop. I tried telling him no matter what hp level your car is at, whether at 100hp or 1000hp, your timing belt spins the same speeds. His dad which is supposed to be a mechanic agrees with him.

    Please only chime in if you know for sure, dont chime in if you just think you know. I would like some of the shops who have actually taken the cars to the limits to chime in for me.

    Thanks,
    Benn

    Remember, never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    I think Chris was almost at 800hp on a 2 bolt but I think he might of had 3sx rods.

    Timing belt would pop that's great stuff!
