as long as your not too far away lol.well As far as power and torque go, here is the story. I requested the TQ be kept around 420wtq ish (dynojet) because i do not want to grenade the bottom end until i have the funds to buy a built block. this is my Daily Driver, and im a college kid working to pay for my car and school.
My ignition is not letting us take it above 30-31psi without blowing out spark (yes i have properly gapped BPR8es plugs) so considering that the other members on the boards who made 480-495whp on this turbo were all running 33-35psi I know my numbers will be a little lower.
so i expect around 450-470whp & 410-430wtq

Got the car back, it feels great. Pulls hard all the way to 7k and the boost comes on so fast, just like a stock turbo but more responsive between shifts and everywhere. Ill be hitting the rollers today at 2pm

So Unfortunately my spark issue is holding me back more than we thought. Time for a COP ignition, best #'s of the day were 445whp 430wtq
so not bad but still a little bit disappointing. these two runs were just done at different boost levels to try and keep it from blowing out spark. You can see though how fast this turbo builds boost.

Yikes! I wouldn't get to caught up with the peak numbers. I don't care what anyone says, anything over 400/400 on a DG with a power band and spool like that is bada$$ for a street car. Nice job.
Is the dip @ 5500 the spark issue?

Man that sucks you ran into spark issues. Do you have the Stock ignition still?(no amplifier?)
Still great results though... this is a nice street fun setup for sure. Backroads would be fun to take this on.
