understandable. with 15+ foot of exhaust piping on the sts kit it might make a difference.

i only use heatwrap to reduce temps around the exhaust. I have yet to find benefits in performance between heatwrap and non-heatwrap on any of my cars or race bikes.

i guess with the right numbers anyone can prove gains on anything though.

 

Well got here a little early... Got a ticket 10 min away from my destination...that's my highlight of the day for now lol... Ughh

 

^^^Things should get better from here on out. Hope you brought the camara this time. Good luck with your tune, can't wait to see the results.

 

Yes I did! I actually forgot it again but I turned! I knew I'd get **** for it loll

 

good luck!

 

first, wtf....can't drive speed limit?

second, didn't you learn to put the camera IN THE CAR THE NIGHT BEFORE!! crackerass... lol

 

Loll ^ it was 10 over... .. no points thank god, it wasn't in NY

 

is it on the dyno yet? updates? u got a smart phone right? we should get like up to the SECOND updates on this... we've all been waitin foreeeevvveeerrrrr! good luck!

 

haha ^ up to the second updates FTW!

 

So far 367/ 370 tq... Getting the ebc settings to work now. Still working on it...

 

What psi is that?

 

Good stuff, im hoping thas low boost numbers for now?

 

already making more torque than the vortech

 

he has too Any turbo will make more tq than the Vortech at the same psi.

 

In for the next update!!! My genie tells me 400+ whp is in your immediate future

 

This was at 7 pounds... It's a lot better than last time... But it's not holding boost steady even with ebc on.. So it's off the dyno to do a pressure test and smoke test ..n check again . I'll report bak when I have more info... My luck is sucking .. Ugh well see

 

The turbo or the kit will not be the limiting factor here, the weak sauce rods will. The tune is important too, but I think he will bee good there.

 

Make sure yo check those bolts on the exhaust side again. I know you said it is a 3 hour drive to your tuner. If they were not tightened well, one may have come loose.

Either way sounds like progress, those were nice numbers for 7psi.

My car is holding 9psi with the T4 6262 with less duty cycle on the EBC than with the T3 6162.

 

Those are definately good #s for 7psi of boost! I'd be happy with that myself

 

Update!!

Got the boost to hold!! Stupid lil things... Peaked at 8.8-9.. And 8.3 by redline... Afr dead on at 11.5... Very very little timing... 386/379 tq... Going to do a couple more but it'll break the 400.

This kit makes great tq!!!! And the iat are perfect and cool
