STM does it again, TRBOTAXI back on the dyno!!
Well where do I begin with this.. I cant say enough great things about emery and his crew at STM, they go above and BEYOND what anyone has ever done for me to help me out with this car.. its unreal and im glad to have him so close to home!
After seeing emery's results with the skunk2 intake manifold and Full Blown throttle body, i was curious to try this setup on my car and emery assured me that i would not be disappointed with the results. i as well wanted emery to build me a custom catch can setup for my car that he had on his RS as well. I've known emery a long time now, so i was tinkering with the car one night and gave him a call on his cell.. he had no problem with what i wanted and said "sure drop it off and we will make it work"
I dropped the car off and a week later emery gave me a call on a FRIDAY NIGHT at 730pm asking if I wanted to drive out to his shop to be there when he tunes it and take her home, mind you its about an hour and some change drive for me.. i get there around 9ish, car is sitting on the dyno all strapped done ready to roll. ended up staying at the shop till past 11pm that night to finish up the car for me.. thats what i call customer service.. this isnt the FIRST time hes done this for me either.
emery starts working his magic behind the laptop and i cant believe the spoolup on this thing, before the car had a buschur fabricated intake manifold and ported 65mm TB. About 10 to 12 pulls later emery has the car exactly where he wants it.. and needless to say himself and I couldnt be more happy, the car is happier than a pig in ****!
a few numbers..
On 40 psi with the buschur manifold/TB the car made 651/509 and thats where we left it
On 37 psi the Skunk2/full blown TB made 655/??? cant remember the trq
On 40 psi the Skunk2/full blown TB made 679/540
On 42 psi the Skunk2/full blown TB made 695/552
We left the car at 42 psi as emery felt there was no need to push the car any further with that.
quick mod list:
buschur alum rod 2.0 LR
buschur head with BF 272s
buschur 3586 standard facing turbo kit
buschur double pumper
fic 2150's
STM worked skunk 2 intake manifold
Full blown 70mm TB
etc etc..

the catch can is BADASS, it mounts underneath my air filter where the slave cylinder mounts on the tranny and vents the block in 4 places (balance shaft hole on front of block, dipstick, and the valve cover ports)
emery and the crew at STM... THANK YOU once again for everything you do for me, this car is an animal on the street and one hell of a joy to drive.
Would also like to thank david for his KICK *** motor and everything else he has helped me out with as well!!
