The Q5TE is based on the Sirio EVO 4 but works much better and of course has much better looking internals.
The powerband meets buggy requirements best but also in truggies you can benefit from the high revs this engine achieves.

For Buggy it has a lot of liniear torque right from the low end up to the top, that has to be controlled...and in the upper range it is at least as good as other tuned competitors or even better.

It works well with the 2013 and the new Capricorn 2068, that sounds slower, needs less fuel, smoothens out the engines low end but in deed is faster.
I talked to Patrizio from Capricorn last week and he told me, that this is what the new pipe was made for.
The engine seems to like colder plugs...this is what some of our drivers tell me again and again.

Of course you get a Turbo and a Standard plug head.

Come and get one... :-)
