Figured we could all pretend your speedo was in kph so it didn't look like you hit 120 mph on the street.

LOVE what you're showing us.

Not to worry. It was filmed on an open road in Mexico

Don't get me wrong. I think pollution laws are fantastic. I hate getting stuck behind a badly tuned car or a diesel. However, I think if we can the emissions test, we should be able to do whatever we want.

Now that's the way the tach should be moving. Do you happen to have any pictures of the underside without all the belly pans on? I am trying to determine if there would be any interference with the Cusco 4 point power brace. I can't really tell with the pics you have up. Love this setup thus far. I am pretty sure your charge piping may interfere with my ground control strut tower brace too

I cant really tell just how high off the top of the intake manifold the piping comes up from the shots you have.

Exactly! I feel the same way.

MrC, how would you compare your turbo FRS to one of your turbo S2Ks as far as how it drives out on the street, handling, etc. Both cars have amazing handling characteristics so it would be interesting to hear how they handle the extra power in their own ways from your perspective.

I'll let toan chime in on this since he's tuned and test driven both the ptuning turbo s2000 and turbo FRS. But I can tell you driving the turbo frs puts a grin on my face evertime I step on the gas. The power delivery is very linear and predictable. Your ptuning turbo s2000 was putting out 430-440 at the wheel on our dyno, if I remember correctly. So the power is not going to be as brutal but the adrenalin rush is still there when you're in boost.

You're more than welcome to stop by the shop and we can take you out for spin.

Awesome, thanks for the info Mrc. I'll definitely have to take you up on that!

Careful what you ask for, the boost is very addictive. Once you feel the power you won't stop thinking about it

Not a problem! Are you planning to pick up the BRZ soon or did you already picked one up.

I'm in an STI now for the time being. I needed a reliable/fun DD for a little while. The BRZ is definitely on my radar though and your kit is really making me lean towards picking one up sooner than later. I'll definitely be stopping by your shop soon to check it out.

We'll try to look into this for you.

Handling-wise, they're both phenomenal cars when set up properly. The S2K with our PTUNING turbo system running on just pump gas is on another level with 440-460WHP, but I can assure you that at the current power level of our FR-S, it's much much faster than most other tuner cars that are running pump gas.

The power will put your passenger in his/her seat and a smile on your face.

Part of me wished I hadn't seen this thread.

The other part of me wants to start saving money. New furniture be damned!

Furniture is overrated. Besides, furniture doesn't make awesome blow off valve noises.
