in my opinion Citroen must be disqualified.
About the clutch mechanism....
yes it is heavier,but the supplier doesn t product a wrc car spare part by ''accident'' heavier.
Also a heavier clutch cover is more durable.More durable/heavier makes less happy the engine to rev,there is not so good gas response,but is stronger in terms of reliability.
About the turbocharger compressor wheel,we dont know the exact dimension from the wheel they measure.
That the turbo is supplied by Garett to all wrc cars is ridiculus excuse.Ok they are supplied by Garett,but no one will stop you to modify.
The gain is very tiny,as the turbo is with orifice.
The blades cant be longer after some km,while they have measured inside tolerances.
The gap between blades and housing is minimal,if they were geting longer,then they will touch the housing and then kaboom.There are street cars with 2,5 bar boost,that after some 30-50.000 km the blades are not longer.
A wrc team has to be very carefull about the homologated parts.We are talking about a 300 people team,they can measure(and they have to) every bolt or nut in a wrc car.Not a turbocharger,or a clutch cover...
Sorry Miko but thats rallying.Hope to gain another one in Argentina.
