LOL - yeah the phone a friend option has been pretty good - except for the time difference thing.

We had talked about me flying up - but the Army says "hell no" right now. Maybe in September if we are still having issues.

what maf pipe is jcab running, and is there another maf sensor that will be installed other than the oem?

Scott redesigned it for use with the AP

It is scaled.... just running out of headroom.

He is still a few % off - but nothing major.

The injectors on the other hand need more work.

You are part of the 300whp club Even though the dyno didn't show it, Im sure you are there. Good luck, and btw, if there is a huge bang, isn't that detonation? Or just a HUGE Backfire?

Just worry about a good reliable tune. Don't get all caught up in dyno numbers.

It's looking more and more like my car will be the only proven greddy with over 300whp for a while yet .....

it is a 4 port. i will have to install it once i get my turbo back from BNR and get the rest of my couplers. so there will be a dyno after that.

If you run at 9psi my wild guess would be around 250whp .

250whp will be nice. i'd be more curious to know what kind of torque it will be putting out.

I have blown up two GReddy turbos in the past 2years.

I did not upgrade to the BNR for more HP. I need better reliability!!!
