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. |

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.

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... |

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...?

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