WORKS mod paths?

Was trying to plan out my upgrade goals for this year. My first mod was the P2 from WORKS, so I'm more inclined to stay with them. My question is pretty simple; how far can works take me in terms of hp on 93 octane?

I do like the 'set it and forget it' approach, and have been wanting to stay away from an EM system if possible. That's just an area I don't feel safe with personally.

Most of us have seen the 303 and 340 packages. I believe those are 91 octane estimates for hp.

What else can we go with?
Water Injection for one is very close - thinking close to 24psi safely on pump gas with it?

I think with water injection, it is not just about increased boost, but also increased timing and proper air fuel ratios.

I know I shouldn't be concerned with hardcore numbers, but wanna know what I can ultimately acheive with 93 octane. I know they under-estimate lots of numbers here. Just wanting an idea of what I can get.

With the stock turbo, you can get around 350hp with the 340 package and our test pipe or high flow cat.

With water injection, expect much higher numbers... 380-400crank range is just an estimate.

That’s with what we have right now. The 3in O2 housing will help spool and free up even more power. We have some other stuff "in the WORKS" that will take you even further.

I think what he's asking is how far works can take him power wise on what you sell.

Are those numbers for 91 octane, or just real conservative? If you are talking crank hp, I gained about 40hp from the install of the P2 alone. That, along with my TBE I installed would push me near 350 crank hp already.

Yes that’s with 91 Octane, and very conservative. We always quote the lowest possible estimate, unlike most tuners/manufacturers that quote the highest. We would rather have our customers be happy making more than we quoted them... Much better than wondering why they aren't getting what's advertised.
