LOL! How much torque did you end up with?

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...
