So I got a 2011 GSR and thought "Hey some bolt-ons would be great." So I ordered the entire ETS catalog more or less. I was able to successfully install everything but the downpipe. I figured I would take it to a shop for downpipe and tune. Then I was like, hmmm since it's going to a shop, I may as well get cams to prepare for a bigger turbo. I got GSC S2 cams from MAP and was like, well might as well do the valvesprings so I got those too. Since the head is coming off, ARP headstuds might as well go in and I dropped the car off at the shop for all four of those items. Bolts broke off into the turbo on the downpipe even though the car only had 1100 miles. The guy told me the turbo has to come off so I said what the heck, may as well put a brand new turbo in. I ordered the MAP EF3 turbo. Then a shiny new turbo needs matching injectors so FIC1000cc injectors went along with a new fuel pump. Lastly, since we are running more boost, a synapse BOV was necessary.
I blew a ton of money on a 1.5 month old car but might as well do it right? I am curious as to what I will hit on pump gas. Hoping for 400-450hp which will probably blow my clutch so I might as well start looking for one of those lol.

On 91 you'll prolly make 375-380ish
On 93 over 400 likely. You have all the supporting mods for the car and I don't see how you won't be able to hit those #'s with a tune.
I have nearly every mod you have minus the cams and I'm expecting to hit 370 on 91 water ^^
How much was your turbo and manifold install by the way.
Oh you're in OC and there are no 93 or E85 stations here so you will likely hit the 37X-38X hp range depending how much boost. Did you upgrade the intercooler and U ICP? I'm assuming so since you said you ordered the ETS catalog hahah.

I'll post dyno results when I get them. More like the mod bug snowballed me.

Lmao I did the exact same thing with my 1.5 month old car. Just different mod list. I don't really recognize that turbo, but with exactly every mod u have just with the mixture of ams, Cobb, kelford, walbro, arp, and garret gt3071r I made 425hp/395tq on mustang dyno. An estimate of about 520hp/470tq on regular dyno.

Also for got to mention. We were limited to the power we can make because the WG and DV limited us. I also didn't get bigger injectors, which we initially considered that being the first limiting factor. The bov held us at 21 and the serge is insane. I just ordered the synapse dv. Hope you make the power you want which I think it shouldn't be a problem at all. Highly suggest you that if you are not going to be changing the clutch along with everything else, make sure you drive it with ease.
