Buschur Build/Tune + BBK = One Broad Power Curve!
I agree...Buschur FTW!!! They and CBRD deserve all the credit and compliments 
Not to much else has changed with the car. I have added Buschur's lightweight center member, mustache bar, and solid rear diff mounts, switched to a mini radiator for Solo, and cut part of the cage out that was not needed. Also tweaked the alignment a bit. I will be racing in XP class this year.
Nice meeting you as well Brian. You have a VERY nice car/setup!
I believe that CB has mentioned this turbo is best suited for pump gas but I am very happy with the race gas numbers. There is only so much air a turbo will pump out and I think I am at the limit. There is also only so much timing you can throw at a turbo motor even with Q16. Lastly, I am not running higher compression pistons which I may do in the future and/or a 2.3 motor. I should also add that at 517whp on this dyno the car had a best trap of 141MPH. I have no doubt this car will still trap 130MPH in the quarter with these numbers.

I am very happy with the turbo numbers and cannot wait to try it on the track! 
2.0L
Because thats where my rev limiter is set
Seriously though, with the way the cuve is going, there is no way this thing is going to just fall off the face of the planet after another 1500RPM. Even IF it fell to 325-350WHP that is still better than having to shift to third on a Solo course IMO.

Really broad curve. Looks great. 
We have really similar mods except I am on a Red on pump gas. I make about 10 more peak horsepower, but your average hp is higher than mine.
The BBK full seems to be the clear winner for your application.

Great results! Looks like your setup definitely flows more on the top end than my FPGreen setup.
We both hit peak torque around 4000rpm, but my HP starts to fall off around 6000rpm while yours is still climbing. I will have to look into this BBK turbo!
I assume you have a ported intake mani w/ 65mm TB? What is the little carbon piece over the cam angle sensor? Just a protector/shield or something else?

I can't wait to see this thing tearing up the autocross course! There will be another XP Evo in the midwest with a little more power and a little less weight, but I don't know what kind of suspension and drivetrain development he has. It should be an epic battle!
