Not even close . On a 2.5l, they usually taper off to about 15-16psi by redline and about 18-19psi on a 2.0l. I did have one car, however, that would hold 19psi to 7k RPM on a 2.5l. We could never figure out why that particular turbo was so gifted.

Been holding off on gauges because I don't like the look of having bunch of gauges inside my car, built my car to look stock. Plus my car has only 4,200 miles on the car and have owned it for 4 years! Don't really drive her much, I'm running a Blouch Dom 2.5xtr.

379@18psi? wow! look into the zeitronix digital display small and reads afr,egt,boost,lambda or fuel pressure too. its clean and holds peak readings.

4200 miles stop posting and start driving.

Yep, just a little vf-39.

Yeah, was very happy to see the motor is still healthy. Car is ready for next Thursday.

Yes I was looking into that, and mounting in my glove box, going to get Link display unit that will tell me alot and data log if need to. Car put down 371whp 387wtq at 20psi, 379whp 364wtq at 18psi. Know idea why put down more power on 18psi, maybe it's due to the injectors being maxed out! I know they have had a ATP 3076 put out 400whp on alot of psi! There dyno reads low in torque, I think on Ed's dyno I will gain torque and may lose HP. Waiting for next dyno day, my car is tuned and runs well. Just don't drive it and when I start it once a week it takes 2 to 3 turns to get it to start. I think it's normal with E85! I can start it 6 hours later when it's cold and will crank first try. Seems to be when it sits for 24 hours plus. It drives amazing, and looks stock under hood....... When's next dyno day Ed?

mine is mounted in the garage door/ sunglass holder from the roof and I can close it up if need be. yea e85 is kinda a pain to start in colder climates mine takes 3-5 time before it starts unless I plug in the block heater. then shes happy on the first try.

HP is a function of torque, so in general, if you lose one, you lose the other as well . Of course it depends on where in the power band you're talking about.

Its very odd that it made more power on 18psi than 20psi. Were both tunes done on E85?

Yes both on E85, I know it was tuned on 18psi. Was tuned late around 9pm and was very cold and over boosted to 20psi! Not sure if that makes a difference, he tuned it for 18psi not 20psi. If that makes any sence!

Ah.. he probably just set up the tune to pull out a significant amount of timing over 18psi, so when it overboosted it just pulled timing and made less power. That's just a guess of course

Ah ok, make sence. How much is a data log? Road dyno? Regular dyno? Been waiting for another dyno day, have a date for next one?

No date set. We got too much going on right now. It's $95 for a few dyno pulls with wideband and I'll be happy to data log at no extra charge.

Thanks
