Looking good Bob
That is awesome. Unfortunately there is less vendors like that than the other way around. Very refreshing.

Say the actuator tension is set incorrectly, that would certainly throw the calibration off. I'm curious though, you're in AVO's back yard, why not have them tune it?

My two cents.

Well, I'll post our findings when we finalize lots of things. I'm told that the first batch of production turbo kits have already started to ship, so we'll see what happens thereafter.

BTW, I lived in Sydney and NSW for a bit, enjoyed my time there. I should head back that way some day!

Regards!

Speaking of horrible overlays that everyone universally hates, am I going to get beat down if I add this to my horrible overlay thread?

The ones I put up? Go ahead. But if you can put a note that I did not alter any of the curves or figures; just normalized the axes – that would be great.

Well, I can only say that this isn't indicative of the final Stg 2.0 tune, so why even post it up to add confusion especially when all are just looking at numbers?

Remember what I said about being held to a number? Not till it's final, and I'll supply overlays of AVO's Stg1, our 1.5 and 2.0 together.

This is just a precursor to what this kit can do, given the same mods and boost and I can say the numbers and curves aren't remotely close. Those numbers were are very early at best.

I'm in for >300rwhp whatever it takes !

Find those >50wponies extra and ship that beauty ASAP!

Injectors, Pump, Whatever...

Dyno-Dyno-Dyno
Ship-Ship-Ship
Make my EGO
BIG!

How's the clutch holding up? Based on other vendors experience, it tends to slip at walking through 275whp... which one would you recommend?

PS - It's been a long wait from prepayment on 02nd Dec... F5 all day long!

Bob, when you get final numbers, I can put up another overlay. As it is, the midrange and drivability is far better than stock. So why not?

Pete, if you can also label the overlays as non-final, it would help when the final charts are also put up.

I'm not a big fan of un-finalized work. Please make sure you post disclaimers that it's still "work-in-progress".
