Thumbs up BR500 Turbo Upgrade

Alright guys who has it? When are you seeing full boost by? Have you been dynoed, if so what mods? Finally are you happy with it? I am considering this upgrade because I like the price and can't afford something big (ie stroker motor and gt35r upgrade). I really want to order this kit with alcohol injection and have Al do a custom tune on it when he comes out. Thanks for the help!

When will this setup be available from Buschur do you know? I haven't seen it on their sight? Is this something that I need to call buschur about?

Is that the same turbo that 4ringturncoat has (aka BR500BB)?

Is that the same cast manifold that Buschur has been selling for a while, or do you need a different manifold for the external wastegate?

Was this with alcohol injection? Was it one of your custom tunes?

I have the BR500BB kit and it is really nice. We are still getting the tuning worked out, but it pulls hard. The car is fast and it is still really rich, we have a long way to go to reach full potential. I need Al to tune my car. I am too far away from David Buschur.

For whats its worth a got one run in last weekend and with a 2.1 60' time I ran a 12.10 @ 121mph. I spun so bad on the launch I hit the rev litmit and had to back out of it and then get back in again. Track had such a long line I gave up and headed home.
