I am not suggesting that GRD;s wideband is faulty....but I am suggesting the a wideband guage is manditory equipment for anyone going FI.

Second, your car is lean for a brief moment..right at 4000rpm..and even then, not terribly lean given the conservative timing that the ECU flash puts into place.

Lastly, nobody should expect perferction out of a reflash. Each car is going to respond a little different...some lean...some rich. I think you are doing the right thing, in install a UTEC, or an eManage Ulitmate, along with a return fuel system and retune. You will be really happy with the safe results it will generate. And nearly 400whp already is nothing to be unhappy with.

I wish you the best of luck, and if you need any assistance, dont hesitate.
Thanks Sharif. I called you and left a message on ordering a UTEC today but GRD called and said that they ordered it for me.

it seems like there's a lot you have to buy in addition to the turbo kit to make sure its all running safe. what type of numbers would someone expect to get with a tuned TN kit? ie. rwhp, 1/4 times and cost.

is an aftermarket exhaust a must have prior to installing a turbo charger?

The last couple I have seen were about 400 RWHP and about 410 ft;b at 9 PSI.

You don't have to buy everything I have purchased. There are many people that have the TN kit with a boost gauge and wideband O2 and have been running great. I am one of the unlucky ones that the flash or who knows what didn't work. After the UTEC and the fuel return I would like to be in the low 400's to the wheels. I don't see why I can’t make 400 - 420 RWHP. Good Luck.

These turbo kit were never intended to include every single gauge, or exhuast that is recommened for safe operation. Many people can bolt on the kits and be fine. But in my opinion, you want to add some simple things, like gauges, to keep you better informed of what is happening with the motor. Nothing about FI is set-it-and-forget-it. It needs periodic monitoring and checking from time to time. This is reasonable to expect, given that you are nearly doubling the power of the OEM motor.

It nevers hurts to dyno after you mod that car again. Its nice just to see what kind of gains you got too
