*UPDATE* Dyno tuning complete - results inside!
you should get a Y pipe. I have one that from inside the cabin I can flip a switch and the flapper opens up to an open exhaust or i can flip it again and run cat back. def. a nice feature when you need that extra 15whp to whoop someone.
very nice opto. i thin your the first boosted member who got dynoed and didn't have any trouble. Everything looks good. So what are your emanage settings just to get a general idea. I know your in Florida and that a vast difference from up here in Maine...ahhh nice cold air hehe.

To tell you the truth, I was completely surprised that it went so smoothly myself!

Rep Power: 0 Congratulations. That is awesome. Our setups are very similar so I hope to see some of the same numbers. This makes me want to charge the rest of my parts to my credit card. I've been paying cash so far. What clutch are you running?

look at that fuel curve. cant get any smoother than that! goodshit!As far as the headwork? Well, the ball is already rolling (well, beginning to, haha)....I bought a used head off of a member here for $150 shipped!! Its in really nice shape, even has the cam in it.
Maybe next year when I have more money to put into the car I will get the head done by either Exospeed or KMS...Really can't afford more money into this car until after the year, when the I actually close on the house (yay, homeownership!)....

Rep Power: 312 ****...........
What happens when something that is designed for 100 ft/lbs of torque high on the powerband gets a nice 200 ft/lb jolt around 3000 RPM?
That's right kids, I smoked the tires tonight pretty good (yokohamas) - but in the process of doing so (at 8 or 9 PSI) - pretty much wiped my clutch out!
By the time the tires were spinning, and stopped, the rpms were still up, but I was going nowhere.
Luckily it wasn't that bad. The car is still drivable, and I drove it home.
BUT - I didn't want to have to invest another $500 into the car until I could really afford it, looks like I all of suddenly HAVE to afford it! Time for a new clutch and flywheel.......

Rep Power: 396 Since you went to TM I figure you must liv around me, near the Orlando area. We should meet up sometime so I can check your ride out. I'd love to ride with the boost =)
opto...good luck with the clutch. It was a b*tch to do. I did a flywheel/clutch upgrade when I did my turbo. Your probably gonna have to take some ic piping out to get to some bolts and the motor mounts. Have fun...lol.

Actually - I see ACT XTSS in my future, with streetlite flywheel. I'm worried that I am going to have a hard time getting the flywheel bolts off....Plan on starting this weekend if I can.

That makes me wonder if I can even get one in.....?
