Near 400HP BBX Lite + CBRD Tubular + almost all bolt ons - 91 OCT tuned
I'm sure Chad Block would call this another BBX Lite success story 
After much deliberation over which turbo to go I finally took the plunged and went with BBX Lite (originally was going to go FULL but was recommended otherwise).
Sorry I don't have #'s before the tune, my car was running S2 package (indicated with *) untuned & I wanted to get this all tuned in one go.
CBRD BBX Lite
CBRD Tubular
AMS Fuel Rail
ID 1000 Injectors
*ETS FMIC 4'
*ETS U + L Pipes
*ETS Intake
*CNT Downpipe (*200 cell catted)
*CNT Dual Exhaust
Cobb Walbro fuel pump kit
GrimSpeed 3-Port
(other stuff)
AEM wideband
Defi boost gauge
XXR 527's (18*9.75 wrapped 245/40/18)
(things to do)
get rid of the stock o2 housing with AMS, ETS, UR
All tuned by COBB SoCal on 91 OCT (OpenSource tune) 10/22/11
My goal was to make 400 power but I knew it would be hard on 91 oct without pushing it really hard. After the holidays I may go back to swap out the housing and re-tune but, I'll have to first weigh the pros and cons.
(383qhp/341tq - for those who can't see the #'s)

The ladies don't really like it when I wot but the brodies can def fell the difference when we mob down the freeway. It's a blast to drive, to bad their aren't accessible E85 stations or even 93 station in Orange County -_______-

Decent numbers! Stock o2 housing, the cat, and 91 octane are really holding you back 
Aquamist?
If you don't mind me asking, what rims are on your car? I don't really care for the color but they look really nice!
*edit* you said XXR 527's, sorry I can't read!

Great numbers dude. I was looking for someone to get the bbx lite in cali and have it tuned on crap 91oct, the number turned out better that i was expecting. it looked like boost was holding strong at 25psi seem's like a very safe tune. Thanks for sharing. Are you planing on just daily driving the car or are you planing on tracking it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I can always send in my original turbo and get it upgraded to a BBX Full but I don't see that happy anytime in the future, I am happy where I'm at and I just want to make a few extra payments on her before I jump into my next project.

I hit 395hp/350tq at RRE. I think BBX light is the perfect DD Turbo. You get used to the power quickly though and want more. I wish we had E-85 close to SF Valley. Thinking about cams and or Meth. Or I just leave it alone and put nice leather in the car instead.
I do not regret the lite though, as uphill canyon driving is allready a *****. Who wants to drive high RPM's all the time. I know it is only 400 RPM or so but...
Enyoy a fun street car and I like those wheels too, reasonably priced.
