Naw, I never made a weight reduction thread. It was kinda weaved into my old build thread when I started the journey into making it a road course car. That thread is still there, I just haven't updated in a while.
Some Electronic boost controllers will do boost by gear. Not all, but some, so you got to find one that will. If you run a boost solenoid off your standalone (if you have one), you can set it up that way too.

You can do it with AEM EMS, Haltech, A'PEXi-AVCR and IIRC World's $1K EBC

if you guys want boost by gear then just get a large turbo. i only see 12 psi in 1st, 15 psi in 2nd, and then 20 in 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
well i cant wait to see the results travis. you gotta get back in the game. even the xa guys are running 12s now.

Weighs 2550lbs so 300whp on PTuning's dyno will suffice but I'm expected to make a little over 3 since I'll run 11lbs to start with. Once Return system in place, I'll retune for 14lbs perhaps.
300 at 2550lbs is going to haul the mail around the race track. I'll make some shake down passes to get a feel for the car, and then when I'm comfortable, put my foot in it.
Will be difficult though since I sold my seats and currently running some weir cushy crap the factory provides you...lol.
Wifey drove the car to work the other day, sent me a text and was like....these seats feel WEIRD! So use to bucket/fixed back Corbeau's with 4pt harness that stock seats are uncomfortable.
PS...sorry for thread jack a little Rasta. I don't plan on making a thread until the car hits the road on boost. I will make a completed beginning to end post as the first post on the process and future plans as well.
