Ok I haven't been able to check stuff out lately but saw that whole thing about the dyno proving-
I ran my car on the dyno not as part of SF though at 8psi w/ the SF basic kit and check my profile for the other mods on my car- its a Dynojet so pretty reliable. I will upload it this afternoon but it was 183hp and 189tq.
I have the DH head on my car now and it is truly insane! I am really not just bsing everyone either, I cannot give it too much gas w/out spinning out the tires and it does not like low rpm's, just 4K plus. Got another clutch plate too so no probs there for the time-being.
I plan to dyno it asap but it is in the shop now, drive shaft seal leaking and part is on order.
I have to iron out some bugs such as stupid stuff like intercooler piping is loose and oil return line on the turbo is rubbing but this is NORMAL for turboing a nonturbo car!
I have had my turbo kit since last August and yeah I agree we were the people that were the testers for this kit and I am pretty sure that everyone who bought one knew this- SF could not have been more helpful if there was a question.
DH has been great too- got my head back within 2 weeks (NY to CA and back).
I will put up the dyno this afternoon, have to scan it on the computer...
Hey has anyone heard from Josh at DH? I tried to PM and call him but no answer??????

OK getting a little mad at the .tif on this dyno, I can't get it to change to a jpeg or anything else, is there someone who can help me out- upload it if I email it to you or give a tip?
Yeah it is 8psi w/out the head....

yea email it to me ... vgugs@yahoo.com ill give it a try.
You should email it to Mike(catalyst) to post on the SF site. He is posting your results and should have the dyno posted to back up the claims. I cant believe he hasn't posted more dynos of other customers. You think it would be a good selling point.

I adjusted my contrast and it works now. Sorry about that.
Maybe my boost gauge is off. But my dyno run is only like 1hp off from yours. The power curve is very similar also. Could you have been running more like 9psi? I have mine set real close to 10psi maybe it was more like 9psi.
Thanks for the post. I feel better about mine.

I have a manual bc so may be a little off 8psi but not too much. Yeah same day was my husbands Accord dyno (v6 w/ sc) and he only got 266hp and 216tq, torque IS a hard thing to come by!
