Some people may not think this applies, but the 4B11T is a 2.0 low compression motor running 19psi stock.... Huge gains going from tuned stock exhaust to 3" turbo back on the same tune... i don't have access to the photobucket account i used to use when i was tuning so i cant get all the plots right now.

The 4b11t comes with 10.5:1 CR. Thats decently high for a factory turbo motor. Sti's for comparison come in around 8.5:1 I believe.

Lol at stage 3 overnight parts

You're right, 3 bar should suffice. But 4 bar sounds cooler, especially once these overnight parts arrive.

You aren't even racing at that DD activity so does it even matter. Sidebar, the amount of whp that you might have lost isn't even noticeable. You aren't accelerating hard enough to even care.

Larger exhaust is better for spooling sorry. Backpressure and turbo does not belong in the same sentence. Backpressure and N/A does.

Nameless made more power throughout the entire rpm range, with a 3 inch exhaust vs. a 2.5 inch. Their largest gain was low - mid rpm, but they still made impressive gains everywhere. And that was on a naturally aspirated car with no mods other then the exhaust system.

Nameless exhaust is 3"? Nice. And the components of this engine may not be as optimized as many suspect, to gain even in N/A form.

I'll stop cluttering up this thread, I swear, right after this.

The one thing that amazed me is that not one person said a single word about back pressure after the results we put out.

Back on track...

What options exist for mounting gauges? I've seen AVO (?) mounted some in the passenger side dash panel. While that's not bad, I'd like them to be closer, or at least angled toward me more. I'd really like something that could mount in a single din slot below my stereo. Any ideas?

I ordered one, should be arriving soon. IMHO, it is the BEST cleanest solution.

Yeah, absolutely. I really want to keep things clean and that piece is perfect.

Depends on your seating position. Make sure before you order that you can actually see those locations and aren't looking at steering wheel instead like I am when I drive.

Superchargers on pumpgas will be fine without most upgrades.

The closer you get to 300whp the faster you'll need a clutch - I suggest CLUTCH MASTER.

If you need fueling I have drop-in injectors (No cutting of any wires)

If you need a fuel pump I offer the highest output fuel pump on the market.

Anyone going with forced induction needs a upgraded map sesnor.. if you go forced induction and dont have a map sensor your setting yourself for failure.
