I wonder if one reason it makes the power it does is because of where the turbo is placed. Isn't the 951 on the intake side of the engine? I'm sure there was a method to the madness but I grew up in the sport compact world and that's a ways to route the exhaust.

closer to headers = more energy in form of heat available for the turbine, the crossover dissipates a good amount of heat energy along the way

also smaller internal volume in headers = quicker spoolup. turbos run on a pressure differential, and it takes less air to build up pressure in a small space

on the other hand, if you're building a peak hp turbo, you would want to build tubular headers with the runner lengths tuned to provide peak pressure to the turbo at the rpm range where the engine makes the most hp

you'll get a peakier engine with that though...

fwiw I have one of the original Callaways - 1983, its registered with Callaway, but now is completely 951 except the Callaway boost gauge.
