Over a month ago I placed an order for a BBK Full with John@Perrin Performance. When I ordered it he had no Idea they were on backorder. First it was supposed to be about 2 weeks, but it soon turned into 3+ weeks. I didn't have the time to wait as I had made previous committments.

Having experience with both the BBK and HTA Green I asked Mike @ AWDMotorsports what he would do if he was in my situation. Here is what he said, Cancel the BBK 100%.. The HTA green is where its at.. it spools IDENTICAL to stock Ix turbo and its way easier to hit 10s in the 1/4. For your goals you dont need laggier red or black.. Trust me on this.. Go GREEN!!

Mike is by far the most helpful Vendor on here hands down.

I received the HTA Green 2 days later and put it on.

Last Friday I received an awesome tune from Shane@DB Performance on a Dyno Dynamics. Final Numbers were 431whp/392wtrq on E70 when we ran out of fuel. Dynojet numbers should be just above 500whp. Boost hit 31psi and tapered down to 25. My scanner is inop. but graphs will be posted soon in the Dyno section. This car is an absolute blast to drive!!!

congrats! Nice powa! Interested in seein the graph. Im starting to like what I see and hear w/ this turbo!

 

That is awesome. I will have almost exactly the same mods as you but my BBK is already here.

 

Glad to see the resultss Im sure you are happy with the car, remember what we talked about get a different BOV cause I'm pretty sure the stock one is leaking.

 

I will upgrade to a Tial and Speed Density some day, but for now the power level is just perfect. I need to stop thiking about mods and just enjoy the car

 

Nice numbers man! Can't wait to see your graph. The stock-framed FP turbos are hard to beat. I LOVE my FP Black. Best decision i ever made. I bet your FP Green HTA73 is a beast on the streets.

Congrats!

 

Congrats on your numbers but specially congrats to Mike for the great recommendation. Thanks Mike, you make a lot of sense.

Congrats on the numbers! Must be a blast to drive. Love the car though man! I also have an EB SSL IX

 

just saw this post.. Thanks for the GREAT review buddy.. I try to always steer my customers straight.. I dont like to get a PM that says " what you told me to buy doesnt work like you said ".. Its not how i like to do business.. This HTA GREEN is wicked man.. You can not notice any loss of spool driving it..

Also, stay tuned because in a few weeks Ill have a BBK full + FP Green HTA to test on the same car, same day, same AFR, Same boost, BACK TO BACK.. We will see how they both perform..

Mike

 

Also, notice how nice the S2 cams compliment this power band.. So far I LOVE the S2 on the IX..

 

I am VERY interested in this test...I have yet to see any conclusive data on this outcome. Although I feel what it will be I think it should be a very close test. Any idea of the fuel thats going to be used?

Edit: Btw what exhaust is being used here? Fits really nice with the JDM bumper...looks like a Buschur but most don't seem to fit that closely that I have seen.

 

Fuel will be E85..

Mike

 

Mike- do you have a comparison between the stock IX cams vs S2?

 

Epic.....

 

I will need to look thru some of our threads to find but yes we have some.. the only issue is trying to remember which car we did that was cams only not 20 parts including cams..
