I like where this is going

I made about 400whp at wastegate on my first Fpred run(18psi) but that was E85. So this seems very good indeed.

It will for sure, I would bet money on it. It is a built motor, not much stopping them.

If you wanted the green not sure why you would be interested in the black. Maybe a red...

It's pretty much like comparing the stock turbo to an FPred in my books. Most people that want one, don't want the other...just saying, different turbo leagues.

I just like the fact that it's at 17psi which is well below stock boost. The only way to go from there is up. So, someone needs to wake them up, give them some energy drinks and tell them back to work.

I know this is a built motor but is it a 2.0 or is it a 2.3?

382hp at 17psi is amazing....looks like the black is where its at! What was the torque at only 17psi?

Ahhhhhh refreshing!!!

Just woke up from a late night. Time to get back to work.

This car does have a built motor with Kelford b's (Joker Evo X). It's a great platform to test such a stout turbo.

Picking up the plugs and then getting to the rollers by this evening. Somehow I came up with a "nifty" idea on using $100+ hks plugs-- big mistake. They started sputtering and backfiring at any boost over 17psi. We tried to gap down and it got better, but wasn't feeling crisp at all. In the trash they go.

I won't leave you guys hanging,,, updates this eve.
