A new turbo???? WTF

The stock turbo was meant to be a temporary setup, I just wanted to get the car together. However, now I am really liking it so unsure if I care to swap it.

I will fucking slap you. This power curve makes me want to put this setup on my car.

I feel like the graph doesn't even convey how peppy/fun this car is right now. I am digging it, never though the stock turbo would be so fun.

Nice power curve, Dave :) Now park that beast and have some peace of mind for a few months knowing the car won't need any preparation for spring!

Indeed, will be nice to be able to do some normal maintenance in spring when I pull it out and just wash the car and drive it! Feels good to have a functioning car again.

LOL @ new turbo. Does not compile.

Nice on getting it together though!

As I said up top, originally this was a temporary setup but has since grown on me a lot. I really doubt I will change out the turbo next year. I have enough other stuff to buy, like clutch, surge tank, need a helmet for the track, tires, preferably new exhaust or get mine welded etc etc.

The new turbo is low on the list, very low. Maybe I will rework my stocker into an EF1 or something for a bit more top end but I don't know that I want to.

if it is running well now. leave it the fuck alone

I will try my best, I have problems leaving well enough alone. But as I said, its nice to have a fully functioning car that rips again.

Fuck it, do it. You only live once. Your money, your car... Just make sure it's ready for the spring cruise!!!

Meh, if I did go another Precision turbo, it would be 6466. The lag is almost identical to my last setup and has much more power up top.

It'll be ready for the spring cruise, I don't really intend to do anything major before that. And also, now that it can drive, I will probably pay someone to work on it so it gets done faster.

And as I have said, very very small chance of doing more than a bolt on turbo, at least for next year. And if I do go bigger again it will be borg warner and the EFR line.

But clutch, surge tank and new tires are probably all I get done next year assuming nothing breaks. I feel like my rear diff is angry with me and the torque it sees, so hopefully that lasts.

So i found out my tuner is visiting MAP in two weeks, February 12-13.

Adam at MAP hit me up and said he was flying in to tune a shit load of cars on that Thursday and had free time on that Friday.

So I am trying to arrange to get my car there for that Friday to actually do a full dyno tune and finish my current setup!

Should be a good day if all the details work out and then I can see what the car actually makes on a real dyno again as I haven't been on one for quite some time.

What's the current setup?

So this thing will actually be tuned and ready to go to right? That's gotta feel good.

same setup as fall. Stock turbo :)

Yes it feels good to have it mostly 100% except for wear items that need doing.

The car is mostly tuned, this will just finish it off 100% and we will see what this thing can really make.

But regardless yes it feels good.
