Ahh! So you're the great superhero, Enigmatic Man! By doubling the output from stock do you mean:
1: stock crank HP - 271 times 2 = 542?
2: stock whp at MZM for typical 03 - 190 times 2 = 380?
C'mon Bob, fess up! Inquiring minds want to know! Mine especially, since I have BTE....(big turbo envy........ hehehehehehehehe.......
Seriously, I hope you're thrilled with your car, it's beautiful. I'd be proud to drive that thing no matter WHAT Robert says..........

Oh grasshopper, the truth that you seek is just out of your reach yet present to all others that did not leave early.

That's not fair. You know Tony had to get home to his girlfriend so that he could take her to register for her senior year. Remember Tony, she has to do great this year to get into a good school. Originally Posted by Whoosh

With the addition of some 104 and raising the boost to 28 psi, I've doubled the output from stock. This is running a very safe street tune that I can run any time of the year. This is very important when you consider the temperatures we have here in Texas.
The only things left now is the addition of a clutch assembly that will handle the increased torque at the track, improve the efficiency of the cooling system, the addition of an alky kit and purchasing the Datalogic software to fine tune all the parameters.

He's awfully pissy this morning, isn't he. Not setting much of an example Josh.

Come on it was funny, just because I moderate doesn't mean I can't have a sense of humor Mr. R.

You seem to have the need to attack or show some sort of superiority in your recent post and I think that is why the humor was missed.Originally Posted by mitsuorder

Take it how you want, I'm a humble guy so it has nothing to do with superiority.

Ok, I have literally been on an island for the last week... what "luck" have you been having stvbreal?Originally Posted by stvbreal
I'm sure you'll have better luck than I've been having.
BTW Robert... I really, really think Mitsuorder's comment, if negative at all, might have been more directed at your "sponsor" rather than anyone on this board. How does it go, "... I put away childish things..." I would hope that we all would wish each other good luck between one another, otherwise there would be no use for that person on this board. Matter of fact, when we both get our cars sorted out (me with clutch en/disengagement gremlins), I may attempt to lure you to a little head to head road race venue. That would be no fun if your not in tip top shape!

I am sure you're right Scott. Josh may not care for the "sponsor". However, that doesn't change the value to the community of another option if this turbo proves to be successful. I for one, hope that all succeed. As I posted in the SS55 thread, the more options we have the better. I firmly believe that the WR is a great upgrade option and I look forward to the FP3065.

We can definately have some fun when we both get things sorted.
BTW, I'll take the PLX. I'll shot you a PM.

I was refering to the person who started this thread. I have a similar setup and have been tackling dumb issues ever since I put it on. Nothing related to the setup, just boost leaks, blown alternator, that kind of stuff. Well sort of related to the kit when the manifold was leaking under a weld, had to get that fixed.
