I just want to give big thanks to Al and the Pruven team for the great service and the rock solid tune. These guys are soooo busy 24/7, but they still find the time to take care of the customer.

I have said it many times and I will say it again, I WILL be a return customer with Al and Pruven, even though its a 5 hour drive..

Now, about the idle.....rock solid. Although I cannot disclose details, this truly is some superior work by Al. The idle sounds simply amazing!!

The power is very smooooth. I am ordering the o2 housing and hotside and wastegate actuator and ported stock manifold in the next couple of days, and will be heading back up to Pruven to get everything finalized...

Thankd again Al for all of your help and continued support!!

 

That's low #'s when compared to SOON2BEVO's car... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=177305
He made: 378whp/385tq - 93oct/stock turbo NO alcy/race gas with Helix Intake:: Helix 02-Turboback:: MR BOV:: BR FMIC/Piping:: BR Ported 10.5
DC Tubular Manifold:: HKS 272 Cams:: Dynoflash Custom Tune at 24psi

 

*OT* I read this story of somebody buying a stainless steal manifold off of ebay and running it for a few months when he started to notice he would get frequent headaches amd feel sick when he would drive his car and had to go to the hospital a few times. He realized his manifold cracked and his car was gassing him. This makes me very weary of the ebay 02 housing, I fear it would do the same thing. I know it makes the power, but will it last the test of time without having to go in after every drive to make sure its still intact? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

... im sure that = about the same as alky in this set up....
kmcconn9, next time im going to htown, ill send you a IM

 

The hotside will make a noticable improvement along with the actuator, o2 housing and manifold...

The results will speak for themselves once I can make it back to CT..

 

KMcconn9, I will be joining you very soon at that power level! By Tuesday of next week, I will have in my possession a set of 264/272 GSC cams, an SMC alky kit, the Buschur ported/coated stock mani/10.5, the Ebay O2 to see if it continues to make big gains, and the Forge WGA to help me hold 24-25psi on alky...

Is it fun driving daily with 375/375?

 

^ god damn you, your car is going to be one hell of a daily driver. My eclipse was a daily 350 with the meth inj, but fwd, so I didnt get half the enjoyment but a 3rd gear pull a day keep me very awake.

 

Definitely man. The 10.5 is a major power increase espeically when your running more boost with alcohol, and I think the 02 housing is a big improvement as well! You will see ridiculous gains with both of them with your current mods!

 

+1
The power the 9.8 starves after other power mods just increases and increases.

After say, cams, the 9.8 even starts to slow spool.

 

good job bud.....i am still jealous. guys this thing with throw you back in to your seat no matter what gear he floors it in did i mention i jealous

 

You have no idea...well I guess you will here soon. I have lost NO streetability with my current setup. It seriously is a whole new car to drive.

Let me know how the hotside, and o2 housing combo works out for you, I am in the proces of piecing that same setup together right now. Hopefully I will be able to attain 28 lbs....only for the track days of course!

 

Thanks man, so when are we going back up to Pruven to get your cams installed and get my car on the dyno again??

 

Just wanted to provide everybody with an update:

I have the BR ported and coated exhaust manifold, coated ebay o2 housing, BR high boost actuator, and a 2005 mr turbo with the 10.5...I have also swapped out the restrictive HKS Hi-Power for the new Buschur Bullet cat-back...

I will be getting tuned on the 14th at Pruven....

I will be sure to report back with the new info, it should be interesting....

 

I run the ebay o2 housing and manifold and it's amazing. Al tuned my car recently and had to add a ****load more fuel up top than any other car tuned that day.
He said he was amazed how hard it pulled from 5k on..

 

It should be interesting. Its all in the combination of parts....

Even without the tune it pulls pretty hard right now at low boost. The spool is definatly improved and top end (above 5k) is much better..
