Just a manual boost controller (22psi), turbo back exhaust (no cat) and a reflash (Dynoflash custom tune). That's about as simple as it gets!!

dang. thats some nice power for just those mods. I am going to be ordering the wartalon kit(TBE with a test pipe, MBC and dynoflash ECU, and I am going to AL to have him custom tune it.) which is pretty much your mods. I wanted to add the 02 Housing and maybe the bushur filter (not the maff pipe) just the filter. should be pretty bad ***. Is there any reason you didnt do the 02 housing with it?

Bernados numbers are not very typical so don't have your hopes up...

Go with lower expectations and you'll always be happy....

The weather is a bit cooler so you might get close to his but remember numbers are just numbers....

I will be running alky once I get the 3065 turbo installed. I'll be running cams as well, and having Al do a custom tune.

Doogie's right, my numbers are about 10-15whp above other IX's for some reason. There are still some other IX's that are making the same #s as me.

I didn't do the O2 housing since I decided to upgrade the turbo. If I was keeping the stock turbo on the car, I'd consider it but it's not worth the $$ and time installing it since I plan to sell the turbo as stock once it's off the car next year.

awesome. I def agree with doogie howser that numbers are just numbers. So we'll see what the car drives like when its done. I can see why you didnt do the 02 housing since your going to sell the turbo next year, but do you think its worth me doing since I have no plans to upgrade the turbo? I Have heard mixed reviews. I have heard it makes great gains and I have heard its not worth the time or money. Although the ttp engineering one is only $99 makes it a very inexpensive mod for projected gains vendors claim.

Everybody defines lag a bit differently.

I think on pump alone (no meth) on a 2.0 liter with gt35 + reflash it would be laggy...

Are you getting a reflash?

Keep us updated on the install etc. I'm curious to see how an IX with this kit and meth will do on a reflash.

I was wondering what alky kit your going with and are you installing everything yourself?
