@King Tut, as a disclaimer, I haven't yet stepped on at full throttle and I don't yet have a smooth tune, but here is the RPM vs. Boost plot from the Failsafe Gauge..... there are about three data points up @ 9 psi... (honestly need to check the actuator line to MBC, its supposed to be at 7)

Edit: Oops, just read your above post and I inverted the X and Y axis. Let me know if you want boost in the X axis.

Looking good!

Did you had to remove the bumper? I have the replica diffuser but I havent installed it yet.

Not at all. Literally opened box, looked at the included hardware, test fitted the diffuser and just used the included bolts and OEM bumper plastic clips to hold it down. Mine is the replica diffuser too.

Where did you get it?

There was a forum member selling it and the title of the sale was "OEM rear bumper diffuser" for $160!! BNIB I jumped on it in a heartbeat.

I was later a bit pissed off when I found out it wasn't the OEM one but a replica. Read reviews about it and decided to give it a chance. I'm very happy.

The guy who sold it got it from this vendor: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29159

Lol, just saw I didn't include the link in my response to Zgrinch!!

I didn't see a 3" exhaust system on Nameless' site. I saw only 2.5" from crossover pipe down and 3" axle back exhaust. Is yours a custom order?

Shhh... its a secret.. hahaha

Yeah, its not YET being openly sold to the public, I got it because they are already playing with it and since I am a repeat customer they did the exception of building me that full 3" system. I can't say enough good things about them.

At cruising its almost stock quiet. Great tone when stepping on it.

Looking good, I can't wait to see it at the meet

Anyone in the South FL area that wants to see the turbo kit, I'll be here on Wednesday. Soflo Subies Meet every Wednesday

I'd rather just see a single 3rd gear WOT pull from like 2000 RPM to redline and then you plot the RPM on the X axis and your boost numbers on the Y axis in Excel like I did in my thread in the Forced Induction section. That gives a real good indication of the boost response.

Sounds good. As soon as I get a good tune will do!

[Sportsguy83]

I still don't have nailed down my tune, but in the 100+ miles i have put on the kit, I can honestly say how effing RIDICULOUS is the throttle response. I try to cruise and stay out of boost and its not possible. At 60 + mph, pressing the throttle means instant boost. Of all the things, the one that has impressed me the most is the way the turbo spools up extremely fast. Keep in mind I haven't even floored the car yet, this is just at part throttle.
