I will try to get there next week. This week is gonna be very hard for me at work. Soon as I can I'll take pictures and get the numbers again, since I probably mis-remembered something from oogling at the car so much :D
Have patience! I will get more info.

Either way ANY improvement is a step in the right direction to soothe countless arguments against the 8.
I'll be looking forward to updates!!!

Acording to Adrian, it's their own home built piggyback unit.
Omicron, if 350WHP makes it perfect, get ready for some fun. The car felt incredible with only 6PSI. I shudder to think about what 12PSI is gonna feel like.

I don't doubt that. My only point is, before anyone says "OH MY GOD HE'S RUNNING A 12.3" keep in mind he also ran a 12.8 in a 13.5 or so car. So, he's probably about 13 flat in the turbo 8, configured as it was for the G-Tech run. Which, by the way, I'd kill for in my car :D

Yes, I'm a newbie but check here often for inspiring tips on ways to tune the 8. I would love to add boost to mine, but have to wait for MS to do something there. I have to start small and safe such as a new flywheel, that's my next goal.
I'll wait for a few more of you brave ones test out third party turbo kits and I'll read with envy for now...
