I believe the end result was 25psi tapering to about 23. Ed can correct me if I am wrong. He told me and I can't remember now.

Your car turned out excellent all around Matt! Its amazing how much power we were able to get with your quiet and catted TBE.

This is Matt's 07 STI with the following:
EQ Stage 2 Shortblock
EQ Stage 1 Heads (stock cams)
Element Tuning GT52 w/ upgraded internal wastegate actuator
TXS FMIC w/ EQ Tuning Blow-Through Piping and Tial BOV
Perrin Inlet
EQ Tuning Baffled Catch Can
EQ Tuning Air Pump Block-Off Plates
Catted Downpipe with Greddy Evo 2 Catback
DW1300cc injectors
Aeromotive in-tank pump
Golan Fuel Filter
Hallman MBC
Stock Headers
EQ Custom Tune on E85

Here is the dyno chart done in 4th gear at 24.5psi tapering to 23psi (no smoothing):


The car feels amazing on the road... extremely smooth with a huge consistent pull that just doesn't quit. It also has great transient response for this power level. I'm very happy how this build turned out and I'm constantly impressed with this turbo.

Thanks
-- Ed

Absolutely amazing. It's a monster, 3rd and 4th gear pull so hard it's crazy.

But then on the flip side it drives so smooth and tame at normal levels that you would never know it is making that much power. Just how I wanted it!

Took a while due to delays with some parts and various other things. All said and done it took about 3 months start to finish. Which was fine with me, the amount of detail and precision that went into everything was worth the wait.

I couldn't really plan for earthquakes delaying parts,etc.

Here is a video of the final 4th gear pull that resulted in the final numbers:

Yeah...I was waiting anxiously to see how your build/break-in/final tune was going to turn out. Your turbo setup is exactly what I wanted to do. But, I will most likely go meth. But yeah... your car is a monster now. Have fun with it and be safe!

Where in the bay are you? You honestly are welcome to come check it out whenever you'd like. I work in the city, and am up in the Oakland Hills.

Take Care!

No pics sorry. They are held on with the factory clips that hold the STI skirts on, and then I also drilled and riveted them in certain spots to guarantee they would hold.
