Re: Wait, I Can Explain My Low Numbers, I Promise!

My car is just ghey, and I'm pretty sure the TMIC heat soaked pretty badly sitting there before it got on the dyno. Also doesn't help that it's an automatic and when it's run on the dyno in 3rd gear, it has to be above 60mph to not downshift into 2nd. When we tuned the car, we had to taper boost to like 12psi by redline because there wasn't enough injector left. (stock WRX injectors are weak shit) So, with the car being at like 3800rpm at the start of the pull, being in 3rd gear, and injector limited, I seen 18 psi (max is 19psi on the street) for just a split second before the boost tapered to like 12 psi for the rest of the run.


That being said, I seen a gain of 3 WHP and 21 WTQ from $200 worth of mods (Ebay downpipe, used Grimmspeed EBCS) with the most recent dyno runs being about 30* warmer than the baseline.

alright so i made 135whp because i had a huge boost leak. I found that my bov was crushed badly and it leaks out constantly. I can stick my hand over the opening of the bov and my car idles down like 500 rpm's. so i gotta find a new bov and it should be fixed.
How bout the rod knock everyone could hear from 3 miles away?
