^^^^ whoooaaa no you're atleast giving me numbers 
but yeah good luck, depending on what you do here might make my mind up about which side of the "force" to choose lol
(You guys can choose/guess as to whether turbos are the the dark side or the light side)

I'll give some baselines on 8 PSI after the clutch breaks in, and $75 dollars later. Then I'll come back with my REAL #'s, which will be on a more accurate tune and boost set to 10 PSI.
to stay on topic, I can't wait to see the #'s from your S/C setup. I'm guessing you will be around 260-270ish whp.

^I got mine from ebay because it's the cheapest and I've had no problems out of it at all.
On another note, after some talks with Charles and driving the car after the blow off valve we've decided that there's no reason to have it and that it's hurting the car much worse than it's helping. It makes the car idle and run like crap and there's virtually no performance benefit to it so it's coming off and a turboxs bypass valve will be routed on along with the tuning this coming week. He can't get it by Saturday and I don't want to go twice so next week the car will, if something works for once, hopefully be done. We've set up a day but I'm not going to post it because I don't want to even risk another letdown. I'll be posting up when I get home next week with numbers and dyno graphs. So until then I'll keep you all in suspense and I promise you all that you will have the numbers as soon as I get home that night.

I figured the blow off would be going. I didnt want to say anything because I havent seen or heard your car so I didnt have anything but personal idea. Eventhough it sounds nice w/ it on ...the tC will lose performance w/ it. Glad you are making the right moves and im VERY interested in what happens. there are a lot of people watching this post that arent posting (but are waiting on your reply). good work man.

Yeah from the beginning I doubted the bov too but I wanted to try it just to see how it worked. I'll take that experiment as a loss but I'd say it was worth it just to try it and see how it worked. Hey, at least all you s/c guys know not to try it now
