And seriously, keep in mind this was on 92 octane pump gas. Right from the gas station at the corner. No fudging, no boosters, just pump the gas and dyno. If you want some better figures, we can produce them easily, just ramp up the gas quality and run it 5th gear so there is more load. On the road with full load, full boost was achieved at 2500rpm in 4th, even on 91 octane. These are solid achievable figures, the real deal with no bs. 276hp with a 5-6psi out of the box package.

While we will look at 93/94 octane tunes, realize that with a good 91 octane base, the ECU will compensate for better gas quality and produce more power.
Is this turbo good for 380 bhp or rwhp on pump gas ?
