    Fixed :D

    Thanks Troy ... The debate right now is if I should slow it down to race my class today (no faster than 12.00) or buy into Modified and try to update it again tomorrow :D

    Bob if you ever want to sell your car, let me know :)

    Your car rocks and congrats on the new best. The dyno is a great place to tune because it gives you the chance to adjust things ina consistent, repeatable environment.

    And everyone seems to look down on turbo 4 bangers but you and I know better

    Eh, it's one of those things, guys that get it do, and you wont ever change the one's that don't. I mess with this junk for my own joy, so I really never care what anyone thinks.

    I can tell you this, The car generally gets looks for what it is, but it sure got some people paying attention this weekend ...

    Great results Bob!
    On the dyno, did you roll out of it at 6300 or does it pull higher?

    J, I ran it to 6400 every pull once I got a few things fixed it was still making power when I lifted on it. I optimized the cam timing around 6200 as a shift point. I just don't think I can consistently shift a T5 any higher. The combo should make power to 6600 anyway, but I advanced the cam to move the curve lower. The "funny" thing is, this was really just to get a baseline, there is a lot left in the tune and parts.

    Gotcha, then just up the boost, keep the shift points the same and let it rpm with more mph out the back-door?
    That will be my advice as the devil on your shoulder this weekend ;)

    LOL, reminder to self, keep J away from boost controller ;)

    It will be interesting to see what it runs at QCR now ... The uphill might add a little load ;)

    Funny thing is, I need test and tunes to figure out how to slow it down to 12.00 for PRP (will be on the good tune up Sunday). Nice problem to have.
