Take the undertray off, and look for any rub or wear marks on it. If you do have something, it doesn't have quite enough space from the turbo kit at that point. It may not be touching normally, but...

The question that always comes to my mind is why jump straight from stock power (160-170whp) straight to 400whp? It's an incredible leap, not just in terms of how terrifyingly fast it's going to be...

On 98 octane (which is about 94 octane in american standard) you should be fine running up to 8psi on the standard setup with an e-tune. WHP is typically between 260-290whp in that setup. With the...

If you get the full 3" exhaust, but with the catted front pipe, it will be fairly quiet. I daily drive it with the catless front pipe, and it's not that loud for even my older ears. Road noise from...

Until you start using e85, you are octane limited on power, not injector limited.

I'd first find out if you are actually only reaching peak boost at 5000rpm, which sounds quite high.

This is more typical of what we see here on 92 octane.

Stage 4 is 100% aimed at e85/race gas, meth, or any other exotic fueling setups. e85 lets you get away with murder in terms of making power. Not so much because of the higher boost levels, but...

Spool is affected (in the main) by amount of exhaust gas versus size of turbo. A big v8 can spin a single large turbo up almost instantly, while a small 2.0-liter motor, such as the ej20 subaru...

You'd then need to build a separate cooling system with it's own radiator and water pump. Hardly cost or space effective.

I think the reason for the confusion is that it has been a learning process on what was and was not needed. Many tuners swore you needed fuel injectors and a pump to even reach 270whp for a while.
