Official Turbo Upgrade & Dyno Tuned Thread

On the suggestion of several members, and to help our non-searching brothers, welcome to a hopefully condensed Turbo Upgrade Thread.

Please Post the following:

Year and Transmission

Turbo (Please include details such as exhaust housing size, etc)

Supporting Performance Mods

Please include dyno charts and/or timeslips if you have them.

*EDIT* Please keep this ON TOPIC. OT will be deleted and removed.

The install and tune went great and I am very happy with the car, 320whp/290wtq. At 4K RPM it really starts to pull and holds power all the way to redline. A completely different beast than Stage 2, very fun to drive. Jon tappered boost up to 19.5psi at 4K (to make more 5EAT friendly). Great job at Harman, thanks, Ian, Jon, and Dan! A special thanks to Boostjunkie for going the extra mile to get the Megan Racing CBE prototype on the car in time for my tune (a very nice cat-back set-up). SnoDork, thanks for the motivation and the K&N intake.

Cobb AP dynotuned by PDX

Put down 278/274 on the PDX mustang @ 16.5 psi. I'm working on getting it tuned up into it's efficiency range, then alky in the spring.

I'm not sure what a stock STI puts down on this dyno, but you can see AKLGT's numbers, and farmerjohns rotated GT30 did 383/373.

this was my first 18G tune on PDX old Dynapak. this was with a 7psi actuator, and we had to install a bleeder on the WG actuator line to hit 17psi. I now have the 15psi actuator. My car had a coated Megan header and no CBE for this tune.

dyno numbers weren't too impressive: 238 awhp/231 wtq (86 Deg, boosting 16 psi) at PDX Tuning. these numbers ARE FROM THE RACE FUEL MIXTURE ON THE DYNO!!! all other tunes were done before during a road tune session. Obviously we know the dyno #'s are off, however, that was the best we got from my car THAT day after driving 2500 miles to PDX, spending 2 hrs in traffic in the heat from Rallitek. However, when at home, boosting 21 psi (no awd dyno here) running 12.86-12.96.

^ She keeps forgetting to add the 1/4 mile was on race gas.

*edited post above*

you keep neglecting the fact that the DYNO numbers are from tuning for the race map with my race gas mixture. again, the most the car would boost on the dyno was 16 psi while here it boosts at 21 psi. the car was being tuned for: 1/4 tank 90 octane + 32 oz Torco Race Fuel. 98% cycle on stock injectors and fuel.

Best track time is a 12.4 @ 114mph, 1.7 60 foot. High 80's temp. at Capital Raceway. Full interior.

Sorry no dyno or timeslip, dyno is on a thumb drive somewhere and my timeslip was probably thrown out. Plans to run soon, will edit and post a slip.

Overview

Like buttah!!! Smooth and strong beyond belief down low where you won't find boost and torque on higher-end and higher power turbos! Jet Fighter sounds during operation and shutdown! Maintains stealth by looking like stock IHI VF40. Locomotive-like nearly linear acceleration (for a turbo car).

Requires fuel system mods. Expen$ive as heck - hundreds more than other turbos but to me well worth it. Though, some early adopters have bought it for under $1,000!!! All this power on TMIC and no meth! I figure with meth, I'd be over 350hp and 400ft-lbs maybe. Don't think I'll ever do it though.
