the hardest part was tapping the washer fluid tank, the rest was not difficult. I had a fabricator weld a 1 inch square 1/8 inch thick plate on the I/C pipe about 6 inches from the TB so I had more material to drill and tap for the nozzle.

Can you please tell me what turbo you purchased? Were the AFR's still ok or did you have to re-tune? Great numbers, must feel great.

I went with the Street Heat 50 trim, .48 a/r stage 3 . The AFRs went a little richer after the install, but I noticed there was alot less lag than the turbonetics turno. I waited for my clutch and flywheel to be installed before I got tuned.... maybe a month. But after the tune, a +21whp and +45wtq increase. The car feels pretty awesome.

Paul the exhaust set up is: Megan s-pipe, Megan mid-pipe, Greddy SP2 rear.

By the way this is all at 8.5psi . Im pretty happy with those numbers considering the level of boost. And it was done on a dyno dynamic which tends to be a little lower than say a dyno jet.

Wow, those are amazing numbers on a dyno dynamics. That's ~300 whp ~350TQ on a dyno jet. Congrats, you must really need an lsd now.

AHHHHHHHHHH. Good choice for sure. Glad to see she was doing you well.

I did want to tell you to consider our exhaust or something like the P-tuning even. You have some exhaust restriction for sure, and can get even more power from that set-up.

I know I could get more power with a less restricting exhaust, but Im happy withwhat I have. I drive this car everyday and Im not looking for something thats going to give me a headache after 30 min of driving. The sound is clear, deep, never raspy and sounds great under WOT. I think keeping what I have is worth the 5-10hp I might be loosing.
