Congrats! Doug, you may be on to something. Do both kits perform the same at lower boost levels (on stock block) or is there a significant advantage using the 750 vs. the 530 kit?

the 750 i believe is at full boost at about 3500 rpms or so.. the 530 maybe 2800 rpms? this is going off memory.. but the 530 runs out of steam way too early for my taste

So what are your impressions of the new found power. throughout the power band compared to stock? Come on give us a review for the guys considering a similar setup or focused on similar dyno #'s

That's a nice tune. Congrats. It's the 530bb, 700bb, and 850bb guys. And I'm still not convinced about the benefits of the 850bb for pump gas power over the 700bb. Thinking about it though...

LOL I really don't think there's any point getting a kit bigger than the 530bb on the stock block... I'm going for maximum driveability, not maximum HP.

I love how quick it spools up; Feels like I dropped a big V8 in The only time I really notice any lag is when I don't down shift and try and smash it at like 2000 rpms

We kept the boost at 7 psi because of the power we were making, Lawrence was saying that we still had a lot of room before the turbos maxed out if I ever decide to build the bottom end

I don't really remember what the stock powerband felt like....
But the new one is completely sick. Its a little more peppy around 2000 rpms, not much, but once you hit about 2500 you hear this big "whoooosh" and it just throws your *** back in the seat...tires start breaking lose... then you shift and it starts over again
Seriously I've got a sore neck from boosting around town all day

Congrats on the new found powa.......Did you do the install with the motor still in the car


Raj....Take it from someone that had both.....when the 850bb spools up...it never stops pulling. The 700bb pulls hard...but you can feel when the power is droping off. I dont know why you did not buy my turbo's

I think they pulled it half way out and somehow worked everything in... not sure tho. But after looking over the work they did I'm sure glad I didn't try to do it in my garage!

The 530bb kit is the best imo for stock block power. Very wide powerband for 400 whp. If you had the ability to gradually increase boost (with a EBC), I think it would be perfect. That kit can easily maintain 350 wtq from start to finish. I now see the BOV after the MAF. How are you compensating for the metered air that is lost w/ Osiris?

Mike, you're tempting me but I keep thinking response will be sluggish under 4k rpms. I really wish I'd had a chance to feel the 850s.

I am not sure about 6M vs AT......but with my 6M I did not feel any difference down low...but upper mid to top end you really feel it.
