I have the stock muffler back on now. Given the massive loss of hp N/A that the muffler might have caused I have reason to believe the stock muffler would have a huge impact on exhaust flow. I'm also noticing a bit more turbo lag in aggressive shifts since I put the stock muffler back on; not really laggy though, just that it takes a half a second or so to be going bananas in 2nd if I redline 1st.

What PSI is run on the base map, pretty good numbers on a base map. Can't wait to see more.

just installed my kit from @Pure Automotive saturday. what a blast to drive, even on the base map/ stock boost. im logging only 5.1psi as well, so @nataku should be very close to that. injectors, pump, 10psi and live dyno tune in the near future for me. im sure a clutch as well lol

Like @spitfire481 said, base tune is 5-6 PSI. Definitely need a clutch upgrade beyond this point. I think with a 93 pump tune with full exhaust it's gonna be cutting it close.

Yes, should be upping it up in the next month or so :happy0180:

Congrats on your build and numbers, it looks awesome. And those numbers for a base map are the icing on the cake.

Weird, from what i've been reading lately it seems the stock axleback isn't all that restrictive. Robispec is putting out close to well over 300whp (dynojet equivalent) and still has the stock axleback (i believe.)

especially since i hear the boost kicks in very quick on the 18gs. Have fun guys.

We installed the AVO Ceramic Coated Turbo Kit and AVO Optional Blow Off Valve. We also installed a Perrin Over Pipe and Perrin Catted Front Pipe as well.

We were very happy with the results for just a base map! The car feels strong and is a blast to drive! Can't wait to do another one!

242.76 whp / 208.57 tq !!

Numbers look perfect, all usable power. I want to see an FI car with these caliber stats come out and tackle the cones. I'm curious to see how Matt's times change with the turbo, and maybe take a spin

You'll like my car now. It's all quiet and stuff. It's probably going to be completely bonkers without traction control at autocross though.

That may be the case. I still have to choose where I want the tune done anyways. By the time I make that decision I might have a different catback haha.

I doubt he'll get much faster. Terbo cars are generally more wild and harder to control. See: that kid in his 2.5RS whipping the kids in their WRXs. Not that Matt is a bad driver or the car is bad, that's not what I'm saying.

You're partly right though. Given that I was so underpowered before I expect to do slightly better, but not until I've figured out just how wild this thing is going to be.
