Turbo is done
Let me just say that the phrase "perma-grin" would apply to me today. Absolutely professionally done, nothing left to re-do later.
Power, disgustingly awesome, smooth and the sound is amazing. My only complaint is it's been raining very hard all day andI can't really "drive" it hard until it's dry outside. Even at part throttle it's great, almost scary. Just driving around in traffic, people will look and get a very puzzled look on their face when they hear the turbo start to spool up. The car is very very loud.
I got an STS single kit with a 5 lbs spring, intercooled. It is putting out 6-6.5 psi right now on the5 psispring and 9 psi with the boost controler on high. Wide band O2 with a shift light next to it. Car was given a canned tune from STS on a Diablo hand held which was reworked just little to trim the A/F to run a consistant and safe11.5.
The dyno at the shop is down at the moment and will be up within a few weeks. Sorry, no HP/TQ numbers. The shop did a kit similiar to this on another guys car and it made 460hp and 480tq. I'm expectingnumbers somewhere between there and 425when it's dyno'd. When I come down off my high,I will take some photo's of the where they mounted the boost controler and gauges.I will probably do this tomorrow. I need to go run around the block and chill out.
