Need help maxing out the stock turbo.. thoughts?
You are definately lean and most likely pulling timing, hope you have fuel pump and cold plugs in there as your likely to chip a piston like that. You need to log your timing. 12.0 on c16 may be ok, but on pump gas, you're nuts.
his dyno graph looks like mine now, the a/f part.

I don't recall TT using a tailpipe sniffer - at least, not the long pole kind that goes into your exhaust, anyway. Unless there's another type of tailpipe sniffer?
Isn't the EvoIX supposed to have a new compressor? Maybe that could help boost hp another 10 or so. And that would surely be a cheaper alternative to having head work and/or porting on the stock block.

I think I should be ok AFR, a lot of the DSM guys have been running 12:1 AFR's for awhile.
How exactly does the alky injection work? Isn't it throttle based? If I did get alky, then I'd probably want an ECM with a switchable map, one with, one without the alky. How $$ is it to refill the alky anyway?

What type of WB did you dyno your car with. If it is the sniffer type then it will show up leaner since you have a cat on your car.
Can't say I know what WBO2 they use at TT. Does anyone else know for sure?
Actually, what is the difference between alcohol/water injection? I was under the impression water injection is used only to cool the intake charge - is alcohol injection actually used as a fuel additive?
