Well I think I've settled on 1.39*stock maf for about perfect scaling for my car and the 3.5" maf. Ironically:

area of circle: pi*r*r
inner diameter(stock): 2.8" (r=1.4)
inner diameter(primo): 3.3" (r=1.65)

area (stock) = 1.4*1.4*3.14 = 6.15 sq inches
area (primo) = 1.65*1.65*3.14 = 8.55 sq inches

conversion ratio (primo/stock): 8.55/6.15= 1.39

Others had told me 1.5 so I went with 1.48 to start....gah.

Anyways, been playing with boost. Goal is to peak to ~26psi and hold at least 25psi at 8000rpm. It's *not* perfect, but I'm getting there :) This is after about 3 revisions of testing.

(note: these pulls were started around 5000rpm, just for testing upper rpm boost...full pulls I will do when road conditions allow)

This is using my hybrid setup: hallman MBC inline with pierburg 3-port bcs. Seems to be working nicely :)

So are you running the MBC from the 3 port to the wastegate? In an attempt to get more WGDC that way? Just trying to understand. I was considering doing that to try and hold some more boost after 7600rpms...or however I would need to set it up I guess, never got around to looking into it.

Looking good man. So you're running 26-27 on pump gas? or has the E85 conversion started?

It's still plumbed exactly like this:

BCS goes between the outlet of the MBC and the WGA. The sole purpose of this is to help eliminate boost taper that a MBC sees, and *hopefully* more boost = more whp but that is not always the case. We shall see come saturday :D

Not till next week, the new injectors are still in a box on my workbench. Yes this is just pump gas.

So, Primo came through for me with a last-minute surprise for the dyno day:

Introducing the Primo Performance 2.75" Evo X LICP
http://www.scheides.com/albums/evox-licp/IMG_4123.sized.jpg

This is the coldside pipe on the X, wrapping around to the TB
http://www.scheides.com/albums/evox-licp/IMG_4124.sized.jpg

The stock pipe is decent and I made great power on it, but I can't help but notice there's some subtle niceties that I really really like about this new, slightly bigger and smoother-bending pipe:

Mates right up to the 2.75" OD of the TB:

Utilizes stock mounting bolt w/ stock rubber mount:

Fits perfect! Comes with t-bolt clamps:

Got the factory air scoop to fit too!

Driving impressions:
holy hell, I honestly wasn't sure it'd make much of a difference. I was plesantly surprised to say the least! Off-boost in the 2500-4000rpm range the car feels more responsive and when boost kicks in I feel a definite bump in torque in the midrange!

The car feels great overall and while the boost curve is still not perfect, I'm able to hold 26psi at 8500rpm. PS I raised the rev-lmiter :)

See all tomorrow at DB!

Very cool, hopefully they get one to me too sooner rather than later since I also have an upcoming dyno-day!

Nice, can't wait to see what you lay down at DB tomorrow. You aren't going first are you? I don't want to get up that early haha.

11am is early when you are up until 3am or later.

I'll have to do an early friday tonight...must see dynoing.
