Well, as Sharif said the car is a beast! The car dynoed at 407whp and 415tq. First driving the car I was a bit cautious and gave it some gas and the tires broke lose(test drive with Sharif) Holy **** that power felt awsome. I finally got to drive the car last night coming home from work without all the traffic and still took it kind of easy until I learn to read the car again, breaking the tires lose is a whole new term for me, I mean my Z before would smoke the tires in first and second but with the turbo it was a totally different feel as it come on incredibly sudden, not in a bad way but in a way I have to respect the car. To finish my drive home story that I should post in the racing section, I was almost home and came to my turn off the hwy and saw a 04 mustang at the light and said what the heck lets see what the Z can do. As I pulled up the light went and I pulled next to him in third gear and knew he at least had exhaust as I could hear him rev the car so I reved back and hit it... before I knew it I was looking back and he was 3 car lengths back, so I thought I hit it to early and waited for him to catch back up. This time I let him hit it first and I was in forth and hit it we stayed next to each other until I hit boost (should've been in third) and again I jumped three to four cars on him. This thing is INSANE!!! Thanks to Sharif and Eric.

Once I get access to a scanner I will post the dyno.
Nice numbers. Enjoy your sick car.

Because a few people have had issues with overboosting but none with the Borla so far. Just to clarify how much boost are you making and is it spiking more then 1 PSI above it? This issue seems to only be affecting people with really open exhausts. So far 7 people have had an issue but 30+ on the boards have not...

BTW awesome numbers...congrats...

Well the boost on the dyno was reading 9-9.5 if I'm not mistaken and on the Blitz IBC it is reading 10.2 and on the Defi gauge it is at 10. I don't quite remeber why the differences but Sharif said the dyno was the most accurate and the gauges read a little higher, maybe he can chime in to explain. So far it has not gone any higher since I have had the car back, but its only been two days. I will repost if it does.

I also heard that the plenum spacer helps with this and I do have The Motordynne 3/8" on my car.

If Sharif verified your boost pressure you are fine...

You'll find differences between gauges that measure boost in relative vs. absolute pressure. The dyno sensor read 9.5psi, but the Defi BF series gauge would displasy about 10.5psi. Either way, its nice and safe, and it doesnt creep or spike at all.
