ct-26 upgrade, 500rwhp?

no, a ct26 can not handle 500hp, let alone at the wheels. 350 is the limit with a t04e wheel upgrade, due to the exhaust housing of the turbo being too restrictive. for a daily street driven car, 500rwhp is too much. for a daily, with a bit of grunt, i would recommend a upgraded ct-26, or a turbo along those lines, and a few other upgrades, and thats about it. enough grunt to still be fun, but not too much that you loose drivability and not as bad on the gas usage.
