I managed 362 on an STi 8 @1.5 bar boost.
I know people that have had 390 ish but thats been with headers and NF (which can account for 10% extra power depending upon dosage used.)

Wink MD321

I could be mistaken but I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong
I have a MD309 and I am running around the 400bhp mark, and I think it could go to about 450 bhp if pushed with the right engine and mods,
I think the MD321 is good for about 350 to 400 bhp, again with a lot of mods to support it.
Hope this gives you an idea anyway

i have already bought the turbo as i was told when ordering that it was capable of 400bhp+! i was aiming to get the car to about 450bhp. im now feeling that i was a little misled as to what power i would get.

Nathan,

There are several versions of the MD321, one being an MD321 !, and the others being MD321"S" versions.

The MD321 has produced 400bhp + on various cars, including circa 415bhp at PE on Alan Mcrae's, and 406bhp on Jonno's car at G-Force.

Realistically, I would say it's good for about 420bhp max, on pump fuels.

The MD321S's are bigger turbo's, but I'd need a serial no. to give you the exact spec'.

"S" designated versions are certainly capable of 450bhp + with the correct supporting mod's.

Mark/Lateral Performance.
