You can sort of see the low end loss in that graph I posted. HP was down a negligible 5-10 with a little more loss of torque.. to be expected with a clipped turbine type setup. It's making enough hp/tq down there to begin with for me not to care about the loss. There is more tuning to be done though, so for now I'll just leave it at that.

they should clip the wheel some more so we have around 350wtq down low and give us a nice bump mid to top end. Based off the initial dyno results, seems like this is a success.

Great work.

JP do you have a Meth kit? If you can do 430rwhp on these turbos with a Meth kit you can probably hit 450-460rwhp on a race map daily driven with AWD that would be a sick setup. How many miles on your car and when is warranty up?

Well these car's are known to be expensive to maintain when warranty run's out which is why I asked.

It's all about who you know and your relationship with them. I know my dealership won't let me do downpipes or a BOV so I stay away from that stuff. I'll blow that warranty wide open at some point though lol

If you know someone closer, you don't have to worry about that. Just get to know one of the techs. Done.

haha... i'm at 40K too.. and don't care about the warranty either.... enough that I don't even remember what our warranty is supposed to be ?

does anyone on here remember what the normal warranty is ?? I do want to take it in once for a reprogramming before the warranty is up (they need to to fix an error about the brake pads, but i never let them do it... back when pre 29.2 mattered.. hahaha) ...

it does seem really silly to worry about warranty for the powertrain once you are upgrading turbos though.. seriously...

But that's before Meth though right? I'm sure little bit of help from Meth, you should be able to peak close to 500 mark.

I know, I'm talking short term. had I gone the 35r route it would have probably been done already. I can't wait to see what HPF comes up with though

I have a quick question. Shouldn't you be tuning and dynoing on summer tires instead of snow tires...? Does it make any difference since you're losing power with snow tires...?

It will not fit 2 big turbo, but it could fit only one.

If you are upgrading your turbos, whatever warranty you had just ended.
