Thumbs up Junior Tuned - IX -> TBE + Panel Filter + EBC -> 344/320

Tuned by Junior at The Shop

Mods:

RS*R Downpipe
HKS Carbon-ti Catback
K&N Panel Filter
Greddy Profec B Spec II

Dynodynamic Dyno

There were 2 things that held the tune back. One was the lack of a Walbro (had it in the trunk, doh!) as the stocker was heating up. The other was the stock diverter valve unable to control boost past 23.5ish psi

Junior did an amazing job on the car as he always does and as long as the clutch can hold, the car will be at EVO vs WRX

Junior FTW

You dont need a Fuel Pump for a stock IX turbo.

FWIW an aftermarket fuel pump would have given me some extra torque

i would say yes for the fuel pump just to be on the safe side.

as far as the bov is concerned i am curious why you had a problem with the stock unit. it performs better than most aftermarket units, amazing drivability and it can keep boost pressures up to around 26psi with no problem...

It's either the EBC or the stock diverter valve... when going over 23psi it would become difficult to control as you can see on the PSI chart from 3400 to 4600rpm

to me it looks like it is the ebc as it is very wavy... i am not really familiar with the ebc's...

i would also suggest to change the wastegate actuator with the forge unit. it holds boost much better... you will be able to carry more boost up top thus creating more power but eventually it will taper, but later, as the turbo goes out of breath...

check the boost curves on the same dyno...



the red line has almost the same spike as yours but the stock unit drops under 20psi around 6100rpm and the Forge unit stays over 20psi after 6550rpm... thats almost 500rpm with more boost thus more power...

I was thinking the same thing. I am on the stock bov and hold 25-26 psi till around 6500-6800 then it tapers down to 23psi. I am running a aem tru boost ebc and forge wastegate though.
