It depends on what kind of inlet you have. Silicone or hard pipe?

Thanks

The threshold in the stock engine is tough to predict. Some of them hold up to 400whp for years and others let go completely stock. If you're lucky and you got a strong engine with no defective pistons, it should hold up to this kind of power without a problem.

yeah you never know with factory motors. That's why a lot of times cars gain a bit of power just by having it balanced and blueprinted

Hey Ed,
What kind of numbers would one expect after a tune with:
02 wrx, vf34, full turbo back with catless up pipe?

Assuming you also have the supporting mods (injectors, fuel pump, tmic), I usually see them right around 270-275whp/250ft-lbs.

Stopped by the shop today, you guys are just amazing. Friendly, sociable, beautiful shop, great location. Such great accomplishment/progress you've had Ed. This visit to your shop sure beats any other shop visits I've ever had. Brendan is so helpful, knowledgeble, and so ethusiastic!! I can't wait till the day of my appointment! Hopefully my car will get to test out your dyno!!! haha.

I hear there is a driver of a Yellow Zo6 out there wanting to claim the first run on that thing, little does he know that my 4 year old daughter wants to be the one to break the dyno in!


Seriously though, You'll be happy how your car turns out after Ed gets done with it, night and day difference!!

I haven't even been to the shop yet and I feel the same way. Put in a BIG order today for a turbo upgrade and Brendan has been such a huge help. Everyone I've talked with so far, whether on the phone or email has been fantastic.

I can't wait to get my car in by them.

Is your last name Stirling? If so...I work with your papa! hehe. I am sure he's talked to you about me. What new turbo did you get?

P.S. I feel like an idiot if this isn't "you" lol.
