Long Trip to 400
Long Trip to 400
Hello everyone!
Wanted to share the short version of how my car got to where it is at today. It has been a long and expensive road, but finally decided to upgrade the turbo and make some more power with it.
I bought the car in 2011 from a close friend that could no longer afford the payments and insurance. The car had was GG IX MR with 92,000 miles on it and basic bolt ons.
Through the years I added more and more mods to see what I could get out of the stock turbo. Eventually, after 135k miles and a best of 375awhp, it gave out on me.
I decided to go with a JB FP Red setup to replace the old turbo.
Here is the engine mods list:
JB FP Red w/ HTZ Aero
Tial MV-S Wastegate w/ dump tube
FP Intake Tube
Tial QRJ BOV
GSC S1 Cams
RC 1000 Injectors
ETS LICP
ETS 3in FMIC
Ported Intake Manifold, Throttle Body, and Header
AMS 3in TB
Walboro 255
ARP Head Studs
Hopefully I didnt forget anything... Previous tune with the turbo going bad was 360/345 at 28 psi.
New tune we made 440/365 at 28psi! Definitely a whole new car at this point. Loving every second with it. Runs very smooth
Here is a pic from my recent wedding of the car and also the dyno graph. Enjoy! Please let me know if you have any questions.
