Thats decent to say the least. For most cars if you can get 10hp for every 1psi then you are doing good! I'm glad you got all your problems worked out and that your car is running fine. I don't post much on this forum (FI), but I have been keeping up.

Mad props to you for being the one to test this kit out!

I'll try to get pics on tomorrow nite. Yeah it looks like peak at
5500 rpm. This friday my car will be going back to the tune shop. I'll be increasing boost to 8psi, changing the fuel system, and of course I'll go thru the tuning process again. I'll post new dyno friday nite. After fridays changes in about two months I plan on engine internals, Haltech system, drivetrain work, and of course more boost. Just so I know, are there any particular pictures you guys want or, just the normal engine bay stuff?

I just joined the forum, and wanted to say thanks to all of you for
the in-depth information you have on this site. I am fixing to boost
mine aswell, and this has been very informing. I've just ordered a
head, cam, intake, and throttle body package for my car. I'm still
looking for the internals. Any help would be appreciated.

Pics soon to come:

w/ Wings West Avenger Kit
Rims on order!

Thanks for the heads up, but it was a local shop. I was told that I would have to replace the cam though, for turbo.
