According to Jack Mayberry, Edelbrock vice president of R & D, "the new open track spec Performer X turbo kit was bolted-on to a mildly modified single cam D16Y8 test engine and then harnessed to one of our in-house Superflow engine dynos. Dialed in @ 20 psi, the combination yielded 283 hp and 232 ft./lbs. of torque."
Mayberry added that "#1504 is the most complete bolt-on high-boost turbo kit available and allows the use of just about any engine management of your choice."
The Performer X #1504 open track turbo features a Garrett GT28R liquid-cooled ball-bearing turbocharger that comes as a pre-assembled unit with a Ni-resist cast exhaust manifold and exhaust elbow for extreme durability and the simplest possible installation.
Other standard features include:
| > | Performer X intake manifold |
| > | Pre-assembled Russell Performance fuel and oil lines with adapters |
| > | Bar and plate intercooler with cast end tanks |
| > | AutoMeter boost gauge with A-pillar mount pod |
| > | Tial blow-off valve |
| > | O-ring sealed compressor inlet/outlet pipe flanges |
| > | Ceramic-coated turbo piping and high-flow air filter |
| > | All necessary gaskets, adapters and detailed installation instructions |
