nice...i would think the 3" exhaust is a bit much for your particular application though....how's the powerband look and post up the dyno sheet/vid if you got it handy!!

I think I need to see the dyno sheet... I probably would have expected more, especially if you're spiking to 7 lbs with that free of an exhaust. What kind of dyno was it?

once you have your turbo kit on you need some sort of device that would add mroe fuel into injectors. since you got your turbo you have humongous amounts of compressed air entering your engine and if you have lots of air and no fuel = BOOM. this is called running lean. so bolt the turbo and control your fuel and you will be able to run temporarily like i have. you should really get tuned asap though its very important. you never know what can go wrong with your motor especially if its untuned.

no tsi kit comes with a .5bar so thats a 5-7psi spring. i think d17 can handle up to 10psi as you can see drunkenmagnum is boosting at 10psi!

Oh I thought you had a wideband hooked up. That might not be a bad investment if you ever wanted to tweak your settings with a laptop on the emanage. So how's the ride you never said if you were happy or not? Does it pull hard down low with the t25?

buying a wideband o2 is something i really need but with empty pockets its hard...hahah.. i love the ride... i am really into going to the mountains and enjoying the curvy roads so thats why i got a t25. but yes the t25 pulls hard but its raining today so i am getting a lot of wheels spin. thanks for asking!

I love driving it, i think thats bad cuz i am out of gas money!

His car could beat a lot of things I reckon with all that torque granted he has enough traction and that clutch holds up.
