Brandon, thanks so much for all the info on the header kit. It is a really dang sweet deal...I had to really restrain myself from diving for my wallet when I saw the pricing

It would be a nice compliment to my upcoming turbo swap

how much is the turbo? Anything else I would need with it? You know what I already have...but I'm guessing the minimum would be bigger injectors in the 800cc range?

On an 07 STI with only injectors, fuel pump, and very conservative tuning, we made right at 300 whp on 91 octane using this turbo. Another shop in LA claims to make 350 whp on WRXs with turbo.

300whp on what type of Dyno? Also, what are you guys using for boost control?

Sounds interesting.

Just posted the first car we installed and tuned using the Tomei/ARMS turbo.

Mustang Dyno, with a very conservative tune.

Cool. I read all that, but some dyno charts would be even better. I'd like to see the curves from this turbo.

Read the Tomei technical report.

We are a no-bull**** shop. The turbo does what Tomei claims even with conservative tuning.

I'll have to check with customer regarding posting his dyno sheets.

I wasn't suggesting you guys were BS. It's just I'd prefer to see first hand charts that came off an actual customer's car versus something that came from the company selling these turbos.

Also, I'm assuming your customer is running pump gas from CA and presumably not 98RON from Japan. I'd like to see the results of how this turbo performs on 91 oct. If your customer is willing to share his results with the rest of the community, that'd be awesome.
