i have 1 in my lux. mine goes surprisingly well but i have an intercooler, mandrel bent exhaust, hi flowed turbo, 4" snorkel feeding custom alloy airbox and custom alloy 3" intake + assoicated piping. mine runs stock boost(7psi) but i reckon with a few more psi (around 10) and a proper tune should see it go even better. also, if ya going down this path i run and highly recommend a good quality temp guage as these motors are renowned for over heating and a pyrometer just for good measure. (by the way mine is 2.4 and been converted back from efi to mechanical injection).
