A lot, of course has to do with tuning and John Visconti is doing a great job. I was nervous at first but if you study and do it right it works great.

So whats the update? Did you end up going on Sat?

Nice job! Can't wait to see the vids and dyno results.

KGFRS86 · 09-03-2012, 02:16 AM

How much $$ do you estimate this setup might cost upon completion?

Floggin Tires · 09-03-2012, 02:26 AM

First Remote mount turbo on this chassis.

Looking forward. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to progression!

the hot side looks tiny in comparison to the cold side, I doubt lag will be an issue with that. nice work and original too

I've been tweaking the 91 octane tune the past few days - car is running strong !

The car is running really strong now. John has done a terrific job dialing it in. Next I'll be taking it to a Dyno to see where we ended up. Really feels good, great acceleration and no torque dip. The way the car should have been sold from the factory.

Out of curiosity, does it require you to make a lot of changes to the customized tunes for people with intakes and other bolt-ons from the stock pump-gas tune?

That would be a great question for John Visconti, I would imagine some tweaking though.

SnapOv3st3r · 10-08-2012, 09:03 PM

In for results.

It was cool seeing this at 86fest.

Did you ever do a dyno?

I saw this car @ 86fest. He had a mirror on the ground just underneath the rear bumper so passer-byers could see the turbo. Pretty damn cool!!
