LOL! How much torque did you end up with? :wiggle:

Once I got my boost controller sorted out after the dyno the car felt much, much faster. I estimate the turbo was spooling a good 500rpm sooner than on the dyno thanks to the Start Boost setting being significantly adjusted. I was holding boost MUCH better than on the dyno as well.

I'm not one to bench dyno but I honestly think I was around 340ish if not 350rwhp. But I never got to dyno it so who knows...

I can barely get my car out of the garage, lol.

lol we shall see
I'm not looking to break any records; I'd like to keep my engine for awhile :)
I might go for a dyno queen run depending on how things go, lol
