Just got my Red 80mm!!
520hp on 30psi is def over 500
that's also on 30psi. This turbo on my setup should still make power upto and over 35psi
I just don't have the ***** to turn up the boost. I would like to keep the bottom end together.
Dan, the AEM kit comes with 125cc, 330cc, and 550cc. So the biggest is an M5ish...
AEM is weak!

AEM is weak!*edit - I'm looking forward to getting that open dump eventually. I love how your car holds boost so well. BTW - I should get a ride to hear how loud it actually is in the car. It really isn't that bad on the outside, I mean most of these cars are completely obnoxious at WOT regardless.
Oh man, I was waiting with baited breath!
I do have to get Eric some parts but I plan on seeing him that Saturday and I'm guessing you wouldn't see him anyway between Wed/Sat.I'm always down for hanging, though.

OMG, we have nearly the same setup just different brands, also will have ER tranny and Exedy. Kelford 272, Buschur ported intake, AFI exhaust/coated manifold, port and coated 02 housing, going with bigger injectors in case E85 makes its way here, 65mm throttle body. Upgraded head. Hopefully I can get to 520's. Good stuff man! 
*edit - Mikey is also running the magician's touch on the o2. Check out his boost "curve," or lack thereof!

Do you know if Aaron will be there on Friday? If not, you'll be in the good hands of Lucas of course. Are you planning on going MAFless? That is the beauty of running SD - unblock yourself up front!
you know so much about me dan Talking about my boost curve. I need to get a new dyno now that my boost controller is working. I just got my 80mm cover today that needs to go on because I surge BAD in 3rd+What happens if the mani doesn't get there in time? Kinda pushing it tight but hopefully everything works out for you.

^yep, that is why I was asking about Friday. Surging in 3rd+? Does it happen at a specific boost? In 6th I hit a surging issue at ~20psi but I'm pretty sure it is the BOV.
I am running 2 springs stiffer than I should need to, per TiAL's guide. I've been trying to find one on the cheap/trade but have been unsuccessful and need to just get it retail. Also, I worry that if I go too soft of a spring I'll have the opposite effect and create a leak at the BOV. Been dragging my feet cause it is really only 6th at ~20psi.

^DOH! Was that a post of mine - the weird stupid problems? Right now I'm good - just gotta get that softer spring!
I'm not ready for the TB just yet. Someday when I'm back in the ca$h!

I dunno on the boomba, I purchased one. I don't have comparisons, but I feel I doing well on the English dyno with 28.5 psi. and still lot more there...
Dan and I have pretty much the same mods besides the TB. the little HP gain I have has to be the TB, so it's doing something...? I vote boomba. lol

I get surging with my red in 4th even at only 25 psi. It's really annoying. I have the stock compressor housing though and am hoping that swapping to the 80mm will cure the issue.

If we're able to make it down to the Drift Office before the next upgrade, I'll dyno again just to see what gain I get with the straight pipe now. Should be interesting.
