Better get a 6266

**Murlo26** · 01-29-2015

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.

Now you have no excuse to not book yourself a Spring Cruise hotel room!

Yes, it is nice, now I don't have to pay him to fly out here!

Woot! I agree and Jon seems like a helluva tuner. Adam said he was his first choice to come tune but didnt think he'd be able to get him out here. So props to Adam for getting that done and to Jon for willing to come up here!

Amazing what a few bucks and a free trip can do to help convince someone

Ah, is that what he is tuning then? I didn't even ask, i figured euro cars or something.

I was border line on flying him out here but its just too much money to justify it. But hey, i will gladly piggy back on others expenses haha.

evotuner · 02-04-2015

Yeah as far as I know, hes supposed to be here for 2 days so thats a pretty big window for 2 cars. So maybe theres more cars to tune.

**Murlo26** · 02-12-2015

Well, the evo made it to work today, was a little sketchy on summer tires and the -3 temps didn't help but I am here and dropping it off tonight at MAP so they can start on it tomorrow AM.

The car drove well for the most part, the only issue was my company's parking lot, was a skating rink and I couldn't even turn to park, had to go really slow. Also, hit boost cut trying to lay into the car a bit, I think, was crazy with how cold it was haha. In the warm weather i was sometimes spiking to 33-35ish psi, so guessing I was closer to 40 for a boost cut event. Anyway, car feels good, going to get some fresh e85 in there and get to MAP and I will update more tomorrow.

Dyno graph

The car was hitting full spool at 2200 or so but the motor couldn't ingest everything so we had to slow it down. This car is a riot now though!

Sorry, this is a cell pic sent through facebook as I forgot to get final numbers there on my phone and Adam is going to send me a good graph on Monday.

For now this will have to do.

**scheides** · 02-14-2015

532wtq on stock turbo are you freaking kidding me? That power curve looks FUN AS HELL!

**cmspaz** · 02-14-2015

What the actual fuck?

I want a X now.

turbotalon1g · 02-14-2015

Agree with schedules I forgot to say on fb. Looks like a blast.

**Halon** · 02-14-2015

Errrrmaiiiigawwwd this car though!

**Kracka** · 02-16-2015

Dude...I bet that is wild! Definitely enjoy this thing for at least a few months while you figure out what the next step is. I'd think something like the EF3 or 18K would be perfect...just large enough so you don't have to artificially slow the spool, but still have a wicked top-end.
