Sorry, i didn't know blacks were new center sections and turbine housings, I thought they were stock, or they are just stock looking but bigger?

They are 'stock' but they are actually FP proprietary-cast parts. Very very stock appearing though. So yes, that's why I said, 'hta86 w/ a stock center secton and turbine housing' cause that would be a black (except the black uses a hta82 comp wheel, so this would be like a FP Brown or something!).

i like the sound of that

Got this thing on the rollers tonight. Not the 300whp I was really hoping for, but meh, with my luck and how solid the tune is, I'm happy. Shane says it's really in line with other cars similarly modded, and I believe it. Good solid fun power on the stock turbo. 278whp/287wtq.

AFR curve sooooo flat, thanks shane!

Here's 4 runs overlayed. The Black line is NOT MINE, but another car shane had pulled up with similar mods. I'm a little short of it, but again, meh. Upper red line is current tune, green line is shanes 5-minute tune when I was on the test drive, and the lower red line is the car as it rolled off of the dealer's lot with the old catback, mbc, uicp, and random fmic.

A few notes:
-the perrin intake tube didn't lean the car out at all
-the aFe intake did lean out the car about half a point between 4000-5500
-peak timing is a bit down from your average X, maybe I'll get some better fuel in it some day and pick up that 15-20whp.
-my LC-1 wideband is within .2 AFR of DB's, good enough for me! I started geting a CEL the other day, turns out it was a rear o2 code...I didn't get it for like two weeks after not running a rear o2 (at all) and it came on the day I fixed the line to the FPR. Weird. There was one DTC I had left enabled, disabling seems to have gotten rid of the CEL now. So, no rear o2, no CEL's, yay!

I'm sorta at a loss as to what to do with the car next. BBX, Ported Exh Mani, and o2 housing/downpipe is what I'd like to do, but there's other things I'd like to do...sunroof, bodywork, etc. Budget is now getting very very tight. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to keep the car as-is powerwise for a while and just rock it. It's good clean fun and should be enough to keep me smilin for a while :D

Lookin good. Those are some solid gains over what it made when you picked it up.

This car really does impress me. It feels really good thru the gears. Im glad you like it scheides!

So, more fun issues? I had a roadside consultation yesterday. Tint = 16% front, 18% back...oops :) He also informed me that my registration is goofy, and the plates I got from the dealer have no year on them! On the left they say JAN, on the right they say MAR, but I bought the car on april 30th, and it was registered well into MAY? I'll be calling the dealer about this monday, fucking idiots.

Got a video of the car on the dyno yesterday, I'm really happy with how it sounds now, the aFe intake really makes this a turbo car :)

Looking good! Sorry I wasn't able help stick around and see this or help the others out!

I vote for get some cosmetic mods and rock it out for awhile!

Looking great Scheides! That is awesome news that the Perrin inlet tube and AFE intake didn't have much affect on the AFR's. Sounds good in that video too :)
