Nice ......You gotta love how hot weather can play such a huge part in how the car reacts driving and during a dyno run. It may even pull a little better numbers than that say on 70 degree day, or even cooler. I know mine responds way better on cooler days. Either way, NICE #'S.....Only a couple months before I start pushing my a little more in tune and mods.

Cheers to all our Boosted Lancer Friends

Interesting. Are you running stock cam or no? Cant tell in the earlier rpms since it doesnt start until around 3700 but from what I can tell the actual curve looks pretty identical to mine. My torque peaks around 4300 and yours around 4700 then drops pretty much the same. My hp peaks about 5300 same as yours and holds steady as well before dropping. If e85 wasnt such a gas hog and I didnt live 1 1/2 hours from the nearest station I might consider trying it out.

The pull actually didnt start till 4400Rpm because of the trans downshift that it would have done . Im actually on a stock cam and want to upgrade since i hate the way it drops down so much power .
Good thing about E85 is that i live about 2 mins from a pump were i work at we carry E85

Thought I would just give a little update. clocked my turbo just a little bit more yesterday so I could give the wga more preload as I was still getting a little bit of rattling from the wg door. Turned the mbc down 5 clicks then went out for a run. hitting 17psi sounding good and spools is best ever so I held her wot then BOOM!!!!!

No no I didnt blow it up (at least no indication yet lol) I eased her home hoping no damage, I thought it was a IC pipe that had blown off but did not find any loose or disconnected. I lowered the boost down more then went out and cautiously went into a little boost. About 4k could hear and feel excess vibration so I let off. Did a couple more slow rpm raises and the noise has subsided. I have had that issue before but just like yesterday it subsided before I could determine the cause. At any rate spool is magnifico and got her back down to 15 psi pulling like a champ.

LOL...I've had a couple moments with a boom that had my heart skip a few beats. But from I have been told and from what I read, mine was most likely back-pressure cause I hadn't upgraded my Exhaust......Well thats been fixed. Just bought and installed an Apexi N1 2 1/2 cat-back. So now I'm full strait open pipe from the Turbo all the way back to the Muffler. Wow...what a difference that made in response.

Yeah opening up that exhaust can really help with turbo spoolup too. When I heard the bang my cel knock light flashed a few times as well, not surprising though considering

Your cel knock light? Do you have a knock sensor warning light separate from the stock cel? Or were you hooked up to your laptop logging?

No its the cel I just wanted to distinguish that is was the knock sensor and not the cel flash that every obd 2 car does when it senses immediate danger. But to answer Jake no I am not running a stock rom far from it I run a tephra V7 hybrid evo rom 94170715
