That car is a joke. I messaged Bob Norwood himself about the car. I asked him if he could send me some technical data on the car, dyno pulls etc etc. He was incredibly rude and asked me to stop wasting his time etc...
So much for the god of nitrous....

He spent a ton of time with me, but is probably tired of answering calls on a car he doesnt own and only built. He isnt gaining anything by sharing details that the current seller doesnt have,

that is the widebody fox marketing ISF.

It was deemed a failure because the turbos were rear mounted; also I dont think it was ever verify to run correctly

Location of the turbos had nothing to do with it. Corvettes, and a host of other vehicles have used rear mounts for decades. Quit misinformimg people.

I'd deem it a failure simply for not running correctly. If u can't get the car to run right then what's the point?


Personally I see rear mounted turbos as gay, but that's just my view

I hate having turbo spool and noise and making hardly any additional power.

Until today I've never seen or heard of a TT ISF making decent power consistently and running well.

You know rear mounted turbos have less piping and bends than a front mount. Also if built correctly a rear mount will spool just the same. Have you hear of quick spool valves? Have you heard of heat wrapping the exhaust side of the turbo pipes? If you need some examples I will show you

The car isn't going to run right on a stock ecu. Until we get engine management that can support the complexity of a turbo, I'd deem it as a failure as well.

I'm not sure how I'd be wrong about not wanting to drive a car that doesn't run right.

Be my guest if you're satisfied with that.
