I will be doing some tuning and fine tuning some components here soon enough. I just needed a break from wrenching for a week or so and just wanted to enjoy my car for a bit

that's Ok, I didn't think you were fully done yet

though I can appreciate that it might qualify as fully completed for some shady character

Nothing is ever complete in the car modification world

I just knew he was done to the point of making mad torques yo.

Haha, I'm scoping out Gregs build and will potentially be swapping my whole kit if it can throw down....

and

No but it is my roommate so I could easily do that with video again... I'm also sure I would do much better if I have my EBC installed and tuned, right now it's running all off the wastegate spring.......


My garage is a total disaster of car parts from S2K, SRT4, Camaro and the 8 right now.... it will be getting a good clean this weekend then I can hopefully get some wrench time in to get the EBC installed. I recently started a new career so I have been quite busy during the week days but now that I have a good routine going I should be able to get my act together!!

Here is a little run I did this AM from 50mph to 8-9psi or so before I backed off. Felt really strong.

Hmm, maybe it's the low sampling rate. I guess that you had 2 gear changes in there then...

Yeah, nevermind. There were shifts that weren't really picked up. Sorry, head is fuzzy today

Wasn't expecting a sampling rate of half a second, which was messing with me further.

Just a fun run, not a full power pull.

I can get you a 20g wheel and machined greddy housing if you want. I can keep it oil cooled or you can go water/oil cooled.

All you would need to do is remove the Vband and slide the CHRA in.

My PLX goes to 10.0 and when I get near 10.0 at WOT I misfire. Although i don't do that anymore since fixing the issue.

Thanks Shady, I'll keep that in mind, but to be honest I'm interested in the larger BB turbo because ultimatly I'd like to hit that 350whp range.... also I don't have much spare cash at the moment becasue I just bought a DD and I'd like to grab a BHR ignition set-up sooner than later along with some new plugs. Hopefully my stock coils are still in good enough shape that it won't lean my tune out..... 60000 km (37 282 mi) on what I'm assuming are the original coils (plugs have been replaced before). Bought the car in 08 with 13000 km (8078 mi).
