This was your old car? I basically had to re-do everything that was done it; the turbo system and engine really fell apart...

Just has a walbro 255lph.

This car is finally fast!

Even @ 6psi, half throttle and only 6k rpms its pegging over 300g/s

This was the first time I've actually done the log tuning session with MazdaManiac, and I was a bit skeptical... I have to give Jeff props, car runs very well, like an OEM car with a LOT more power..

" Spool " is very good, smaller 56mm compressor responds very well, very good midrange punch.

Nice. Seeing these kits finished and running reliably will be a great selling point.

Yes its running a Cobb AP. If you aren't going to run more than 450rwhp, then I would highly suggest it to you Roshawl, as MM is in your area and you could have him dyno tune your car locally.

Engine is built very similar to yours...

It doesn't mean anything period, at least not with regard to the way you are attempting to use it
