Default Forged Performance...Thank You!

I just want to say thank you for everything. You guys did a great job on my car when I brought it in last thursday. I just really appriciate yall for busting your butts on my car and not kicking me out. Its a long story but I went to Forged Performance to install a UTEC and tune my car, because I heard about Sharif and that he was the best. Well I defintly saw first hand that I had made the right choice. These guys are awsome. I cant really tell you everything they had to go through in replacing and redoing the work of a previous shop so that it was perfect and safe. It wasnt their responsability to clean up sorry work of another shop but they did and did it 100% right. They ended up spending around 12 hours on my car... I just cant say enough about how great they are. I will defintly be a returning customer as they showed great skills and character at 3 in the morning...
I went in with 314 on a dyno jet....and left with 303 @4.2 psi on the dyno Dynamics. The car is so much smoother and defintly a lot faster now.

Thank you Sharif, Sam, and Devon.

Congrats! I got to Forged Performance a few hours after you left. Sharif, Devon, and Sam told me about the nightmare on your car.

redlinez33 your PM box is full

Curious, and don't worry I won't tell anybody... Who did your install originally? You can just PM me if you want to answer.

I have horror stories too from Knowledge Performance (who are in Kennesaw), they installed my Turbonetics Single Turbo Kit and fudged it up. I have also had other problems, but Sharif has been there to help me out and make things better

what twin turbo kit is this? I am guessing Greddy, but those numbers seem kinda low for Greddy... i did 340 whp @ 4.5 PSI on a Greddy Kit and just a Nismo Exhaust.

Yeah..I am just wanting to keep it at low boost for the moment.
GMAN: Yeah I am pretty sure they ended up taking an evil sprit out of my car.

Redline's turbo kit was actually a one-off custom twin turbo kit, utlizing an off the shelf OEM Nissan 300zx turbos. It was set to boost 4psi with the included wastegate actuators, and no boost controller was installed.

We basically thought this would be a simple emanage removal, UTEC install, and tune. It was anything but simple. We had to abort the baseline runs, because AF ratios were at 14.5 at WOT at 3000rpm...yikes.

But the most important thing, is that the customer is happy, and was able to drive home the same day.

Honestly 303whp with just 3.5 psi at redline felt pretty darn good. And as posted on the previous threads, we arent using any additional correction on our Dyno Dynamics Dyno. So these are the pure DD numbers, with just standard atmospheric correction. I guarantee the numbers will be higher on a DynoJet.
