ah yes, i forgot sorry.
That is nuts on the black.
Yea it was some damn good spool. I would've given up some spool for more top end though, which was why I got a tubular mani.
Here is the boost plot fyi.

Sounds like I should get a 10 and join the cool kids.

Here is where we ended today...it broke up ignition wise up top but then we had oil everywhere. My shop is thinking a line, fitting or maybe worst case scenario the crank seal. Basically something on the timing cover side, which is like everything, appears to have leaked oil onto the belts which flung oil all over. Car is still running good though and they need to get it all cleaned up and find the leak. Hopefully I have it back next week.

We took it easy for the most part on the tune (don't need a repeat repeat). I think 6 degrees of timing at peak torque and 15 or so up top. The WGA seems to be a weak point here, it remind me of the FP 18psi. So I will be talking with MAP about that.
The turbo flows very well and can spool very well. We had to dial spool back A LOT!!!! We first saw 20psi at 3100 rpms, that is stock turbo spool. But we got compressor surge or something and had to dial mivec way back so you could even get enough fuel in there. It sucks a bit because I can't utilize the extra compression fully but oh well, its a nice setup I think.
Mainly all that is left on the tune is to fight the boost control to where we want it. We were aiming for 28psi.
PS: THANK YOU GOLDEN! We didn't have the newest omni 4bar scalings for psi boost control but got it off your website. You da man.
Game ON soon:)
OH! One more thing, Schiedes you should do an overlay (PRETTY PLEASE), here is my 500whp track tune before, and this is a straight e70 non pushing it tune.

Thank you sir! Most appreciated. So if I bumped up boost a bit this thing would really shine. But I like a running evo so I will stay where I am :)

Good power, going to drive it this winter? That would suck to have it finished and then not be able to drive it more than a month. Also, good call on not pushing the car too far, reliability ftw.

No winter driving anymore. I am too scared of some noob ass driver sliding on ice into my car and blamo dead!
I have my POS honda for winter now.
I also sold my winter tires and stock rims for my 1st motor build so to run in winter would cost me a lot of money, so no thanks. It makes driving the car all that more special when you take a break from it.

Nice numbers man! Was it what you were expecting? Hopefully you get it back sooner rather than later, I would love to see this thing on the cruise. :)
Also, if you plan on owning the car for a while, you will thank yourself for not driving it in the winter when you go to work on it in about 5 years and don't have to fight rusty...umm....everything. haha

I didn't really have any numbers in mind for this setup. I am happy though :) Or I should say I will be happy when I get it back.

Woot! Congrats man! Sorry but I couldn't help myself. Two good setups, mine is conservative on the boost (~30psi) as well but I don't think I have much more headroom up top where as I'm thinking you probably have a ways to go :D

Hope you get that leak fixed and go have fun with it!
