Dyno results
Finally done, delivered, payed for and being enjoyed. I got my car back with a safe street tune I love and a 100 octane tune that is scary.
A/F runs between 11.4-11.7 Street boost is 9.5 psi, race is 11.5 psi.
Stock displacement, cams, heads, intake with 60 mm turbo. With some more experimentation with the tuning and loading changes on the dyno we have seen more power but really, I'm happy and very satisfied with the result. The car make more power now, 75 hp and 80 tq with less boost. Adam, the owner of ST Motorsports, really knows how to tune.
The only bad news is my turbo is blowing a little puff of blue smoke after pulls. Not big deal, I'll be taking it off this winter, having it reconditioned and upgrading it to a BB or a 67 mm BB.

Have you checked the way your valve cover breathing are routed?
If you had a turbo with a leaky seal it would usually leak all the time, if it does it once you lift I'm more inclined to think that is related with the crankcase breather system, a catch can, breathers or even some re-routing with a pcv valve in the middle would help.
I would test the car with the system vented for a few pulls to see if its still blowing smoke.

What did you think about the power curve?

Charts look good, by any chance you don't have the MAP graphed, right?
We have not tried race fuel here yet (we had to import it), will do it with a car we are tuning right now, great gains there, would love to see how much timing did they dialed in with 100octane.
Best of luck.
BTW, which kit is that one?

I'm sure I could find out the base timing for you when I speak with Adam next time.
