Finally I got the Turbo on, the boost controller in, and the tune done. The car is now much more beastly. It feels great. The dyno #s still seem on the shy side, but I did the calculations and if it was on a typical dyno it would be around 350hp to the wheel. I am running only 91 oct. so that is the big issue. E85 would get me to 400hp easy.. I am happy. There are a few more things I could do for HP as well, like a lighter crank pulley, external waste gate, GTV deletes. Anything else I could do?

Turbo is on the way oh yeah

Yo add me on FB if you want to keep in touch easier.

Well I had my Perrin fmic installed just in time for BAM. It was not that hard to install. it works fine so i am looking foward for the turbo and the e.b.c. that i plan on getting soon.

here are the results of the dyno. I would post a video, but not sure i can. I was spitting out fire balls hahaha. Yoga Fire !! lol. I got the LC working, and found out; the stock sti puts down 205whp, I have 750cc injectors, my turbo is only a gt25 , and only made 276whp and 301wtq. At least i now have a plan for next mods; Blouch dominator 3xt-r, perrin FMI, and a new ELBC, (i am thinking the Blitz dual sbc spec-R)...

Finally going to tune the beast on the 5th. Not sure what will come of it, I bought the car with a tune already but not sure if it was tuned with the down pipe or not, but it definitely did not have the header and up pipe on. Any clue what the hp increase will be, anyone? Plus, at the time of the of the tune, the engine was just built, so maybe they were holding back a little.
I also just added two 12” subs and a new amp, soon to be 2 amps. One amp per sub. My first interest in cars was sound systems, so it is nice to have some loud tun-age again.

Eh no need for launching lol. Go get a tune from Gst or someone!

Hows the car running?

OK , Well got the car back, its all good, just need to tune it again. not sure when ill get that done... $415.00 ouch.. just spent $1200 on the fixes.. we will see.

Parked it at work and had a different tech guy help me take a look at the end of the day. No drips anywhere, hoses looked ok, but he did find a little spot under the turbo intake and intake manifold where there was a flat part with two dented groves were holding sitting gas. “Ahhww Man, that’s just great”. Well, I ended up trying the to inspect what it could be , but now I have to take off the TMI again. So this time I was looking, I found the reason to the first issue. It’s a broke hose that sits right under and off to the side of the Turbo. Well I don’t have the time to do this swap or find the gas prob, I have never taken off the manifold. So my car is in the shop getting worked on. So what do you think? *** pictures of the broken hose are uploaded**
