Blue EVO 8 gets retuned, fixed boost leak, better DYNO numbers!!
Well, I finally got down to TT to get the stupid O-ring gasket installed, which solved my boost leak problem. Strapped the car on the dyno and made some runs tuned the EMS and came out with the numbers in my sig.
Overall across the board the boost leak was costing me about 20 AWHP and 20 TQ or so across the powerband.
I'm going to have my brother scan the charts and we'll be posting them up shortly.
Overall I am extremely satisfied with my set up and tune. These numbers were done with the stock 05 Turbo, stock manifold, stock O2 housing, stock 10.5 hotside, stock t-body, stock intake manifold, stock FMIC, stock bottom end, stock head, xcept 4 cams, and stock IC piping. In the future I may pick up the Buschur race FMIC and lower piping kit so maybe that'll help me get close to the magical 400 AWHP....The crew at TT did an awesome job and catered to my needs. Mark also was so kind enough to retune my fuel maps so that the car would be more fuel efficient whether I'm driving around town or on the highway.
at 4900 RPM's is when my tq curve starts to taper, but before that from 4000-4900 I'm doing about 410 TQ, and below 4900, I think the powerband is good to get me off and running on the streets.
from 5000 to 7000 RPM's I'm laying down no less than 380 WHP, and even beyond that the powerband tapers very little.... and this is where I think the Forge wastegate comes to play.
Thanks for reading...I'm a happy camper now!!!

I was kinda disappointed as to why I couldnt get closer to 390+ WHP, and TT told me that I'm reaching the limits of the stock turbo.... we crimped the wastegate line on the EBC to the wastegate so that the wastgeate stays closed and I was able to spike to 27.5 PSI and taper from there.
Another problem is with my HKS EVC 5, for some reason on its own power we could not get it to make more than 25 psi, so that why we had to do it the geetto way to get 27.5
anyhow, they recommended that I get rid of the EVC 5 and just slap on a Hallman MBC.
I may look into this in the future though..

Good numbers.
