The flat-plane crankshaft fires cylinders in an alternating left-right sequence that produces cleaner exhaust pulses for the turbochargers — each turbine receives evenly-spaced exhaust events rather than the uneven firing order of the M177's cross-plane crank. Combined with the dry-sump oiling system (no oil pan to interfere with airflow or ground clearance), the M178 is inherently better suited to sustained high-RPM, high-boost operation. The same Stage 3 turbo hardware produces approximately 100 WHP more on the M178 than on the M177.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolt-on replacement using factory mounting points.
