13t actually. I got it off CL and I think it was from a used jdm engine. The car has always ran perfectly, we just don't push it. We shift at 5500 and keep the boost low. We still have the stock Chevette rear end in it, which was built for a 80hp engine. I think the lack of torque we make helps but we still don't want to push it.

Completely agree on doing something different than just running a BMW. We will never hit the podium, as we don't have the crew required to make it. We just want to pass a bunch of cars and have fun. I'm sure a few people look at our car oddly when they see the turbo but it's not as crazy as it seems. Besides, having a big motor is a very small portion of going fast in these races but you guys know that. Maybe our years of experience racing has taught us that other stuff and that's why our car looks so fast?
