Airflow can be corrected so you don't get black smoke, as I have already looked into that.

Clamping load of the clutch, do you mean for an automatic?
Will have to look into that.

Cast Crank - that's the worst bit of news, I didn't know that.

But surely a forged one can be made, a bit pricey I expect but not impossible.
The only way to correct airflow is to allow more air to be compressed with a bigger turbo

If you were serious about this the M47 crank could be utilised, and clamping load refers to the pressure plate in a standard manual car.

When the 160 tunes were being developed, the criteria was to maintain reliability while improving driveability of an otherwise standard car.

Is your car a manual or an automatic then?
