Hmm, lets see: Group buy turbo kit = 4000.00 / meth kit = 700.00 / & less than 1500.00 for the install & tuning. Total was around $6500.00 after taxes & 10 gallons of meth. Not to bad for conservativly adding around 160 awhp...

Any comments on how fast you are going through a 'tank' (?) of meth and how much for a refill?
Doesn't look like your spooling as quick as you originally said. From the dynograph, aren't you hitting peak torque at closer to 4800 RPM? Not criticizing, I think that's a normal spool for a 50 trim to 27 psi on a stock 2.0

The graph shows HP & torque. My boost gage shows the max of what I have the boost set at when it 3500-3600 RPMs weather it be 25, 27, or 30 PSI. Lets go for a spin & Ill show ya.
The dyno shows peak torque around 4500ish, but the dyno doesn't load the car the same way as if it were on the street. I bet that max boost comes in much quicker than the dynograph suggests. Great numbers

Also its a IX so the mivec probably helps with the fast spoolup too. Honestly it spools just as soon as the stock turbo. It holds boost alot better with almost no boost droppage by redline (could be due to the TIAL Wastegate & GREDDY Blowoff valve???). As far as meth usage goes, the meth starts pumping when I hit 8 PSI of boost. Im guessing that for 1 minute of being in boost at 8 PSI or more I use about 1 1/2 gallons of meth. Its hard to have 1 minute of boost time during my average commute or rant around town so its not too costly meth wise. I got 10 gallons of VP Racing M-1 (meth) from AMS when I picked up the car, I think it was about 35-40 bucks for a nice 5 gallon can. I try not to drive in the rain so finally my windshield washer tanks gets some use...
