50 trim or 20glt
I think there are a lot of guys out there thinking the exact same thing as far as the BR 20Glt or the BB 50 trim. 50 trims are proven to make good numbers with only pump gas whereas the 20GLT seems more of an alky monster. But there are trade offs. The 20GLT has a lot less lag and cost a lot less than a BB 50 trim. I would really like to see Dave test the 20GLT and then pull it off and slap on the 50 trim kit to the same car to see the advantages AND disadvantages of the bigger 50 trim.
Dave, for illustrative purposes... Can you elaborate a bit more in terms of the mods in the car? I am assuming Stg 4. Right?
I do have Stage 2 ordered from you guys and it seems that 350-400 WHP (93 OCT) is my HP target for my IX. Just looking for the right path to reach it!

The two cars I have dyno'd here lately had Stages 1-4 on them, they both started with reflashes and ended up with AEM EMS's on them. That is when they went over 400 whp.
A BR Stg 2 car with the LT on it could make 350 whp on a Dynojet on 93 octane, you are going to need atleast a fuel pump upgrade too. It will not make 350 on our dyno.
jbfoco, I can't answer you as I have not dyno'd our 50 trim yet.

would i need an ems if i were to go with the 20glt? what power would i see with the ems over the stock ecu reflashed? and what injectors would you reccomend for the 20glt
Thanks David for the quick response and clarification!
I do have a Walbro 255 HP upgraded pump already on my car. That is the pump you are referring to... right?
I am looking forward to install the Stg 2 and will contact you guys for the rest of the stgs and for a turbo upgrade.

If you're using the car for autox then I think alky is out of the question. If you are seriously looking to go faster around the course, stop looking at turbo upgrades and look into suspension and tires.
An upgraded turbo may very well slow you down around a tight autox course.

i have already have tires and most of my suspension done i want the performance stuff so my car is fun on the street but i also want it to do well on an autox course. the car isnt just dedicated to autox only.
You do not have to have the AEM EMS for the 20gLT.
The 255 pump is what I was meaning for a fuel pump upgrade.
The 50 trim kit will be complete and ready to bolt to the car.
On the quote for the 50trim kit with the FMIC and such. I need to know which FMIC you want, we have three but I suggest going with the Race FMIC.
For a reflashed car 680 cc injectors should be enough with the LT/Green turbo.

yah i am pretty sure that i am going to end up going with the 20glt it just seems easier and i need a car with near stock reliability and i am not sure if i am ready for a full turbo kit as of now. i will hit you up dave when i am ready to order one of these. one last question... would you reccomend the race core for the 20glt or the stock turbo or should i stick with the stock core with one of those turbos? thanks
