When I drove the car in the service area all the mechanics stoped what they were doing and they all had their attention to the EVO... Great Feel.... They did not say anything about my mods. Took the car replaced the fluids and on I went. But getting back to the subject, I really hope that Rabit will be good. AL get ready to tune my car if this rabbit really turns out to be great...
I am hearing you bro! I want this turbo to be kick *** also. Those poor subaru guys will be really feeling some PAIN if the Evo has a simple bolt on turbo upgrade which makes massive power.

This turbo would be a big increase for me.. I would love to see 300+... thats all im asking for.

all you need to to is fix your car first and get it all together ill give you a ride on mine after its done

How long is the wait for this turbo after placing an order? I called FP a couple of times but couldn't reach anyone.

all i could tell you is its a long list right now my shop ordered mine last week and finally got a call this week for an availability.theyre sellin really hot right now so every unit they finish is pretty much sold already.when i called fp directly before i left a message and got a call back the next day but considering were in the left coast and with the time difference i wasnt expecting a call right away.just right down the part number from theyre website and keep it close so when you do get a call back yoiure ready to order or try getting a hold of road race also since they are a distributor for this also.

Could everyone that dyno's this turbo, PLEASE....PLEASE start a whole new thread about it? It will be much easier to sift through a new thread with each person's findings than come to this thread.

Just got back from getting the car road tuned by Mark from TT. Road tuning is definitely a new experience but the car feels great! Dialed in the AFR's then turned on the alcohol kit. Was able to advance timing from 17 all the way to 11 on the top end with NO KNOCK! With the stock BOV (took the Forge unit off because of the flutter at partial throttle....) I was hitting 25 lbs of boost and tapering down to about 21.

If and when a BOV is proven to not affect partial throttle driving, I will slap it in there and be able to hold 25 lbs ALL DAY!!

The car absolutely pulls all the way to redline and slightly beyond. We need to get a dyno day at MZM so that I can get some more numbers on this final tune. I love the WR and the alky together and think you will too!

Tony, what alky kit are you using?

If you have the SMC kit, can you tell me where your 2 knobs are set at???

Thanks

I've got a second generation SMC kit from Buscher. I have the controls set to start spraying at around 17-18 and max out at 25-26. So far it's working fine. It's been installed on the car for about four months now, but today is the first day of actual action it has ever seen. Running a 50-50 mix of methanol and water.

When it cools off a little later on... (right now it's in the upper nineties here.....) I'll take it out to a stretch of road that I use as a butt dyno to compare to what it felt like before. Will report back later on or tomorrow.

Hope that this helps........

Tony
