I'll be posting more updates in my build thread:

I drove a vortech supercharged BRZ this evening so that should be a good back-to-back comparison.

If I finish up tomorrow and things are running good. I might drive down to Richmond and hit the dyno I did a few months ago. Performance Autosport is hosting a dyno day ($50 runs).

However, do a long canyon drive in boost with thin air and hot ambient temps...Or worse.. take it to the track then after the 2nd lap you're wondering how someone robbed your car of all it's power!
Well to some extent the stock car suffers from symptoms of power loss as heat climbs. Most all forced induction will heat soak, factory or otherwise.

With this kit, I have to agree performance is going to be very sporadic based on work load and temperature it's going to be much worse without inter cooler. Just an open call to new owners to report power differences and logs from cooler temp runs to when the car is fully hot.
