NP. I'll post em up when I get my car back @ GRD. You guys gotta check out the misfire in the dyno, you can see exactly at what point the power drops. Hope to be back at 500 once we resolve that!

It seems like the torque number is abnormally high. Is something creating a restriction? Turbine housing? What is your turbine housing A/R?

My tq has always been high, from the first dyno to the last... wish I had an explanation for it. Never really got a chance to talk to GRD about it. When I go with FCON, I'm really going to hope Tuan can bring the tq. down a bit as I dont want to destroy my clutch.

What is your turbine housing A/R? Torque will more than likely come down with hthe .83 or the 1.03 A/R housing.

^ Not sure what it is, it's the standard garrett turbo that comes with the APS ST, someone else should be able to answer this question. I don't know if there is even an option.

If your tq goes basically any higher, your clutch won't hold. GRD undersold me (partially me not wanted to part with my $) on my first clutch and it wouldn't hold beyond about 520 tq. Now I am sporting a twin disc ATS with 1350 pp. I hate to say it, but I doubt even at your current level that that spec will hold for any amount of time.

the article looks awesome though congrats -
