Pumaspeed X-37 Hybrid Turbo Thread

[haste]

Update,

We are on the 3rd revision of the 91 octane tune. The turbo is now kicking me back in the seat. Surprisingly there is little to no torque steer at all. The fist is perfect with this turbo setup. For all of you waiting the 3 to 4 weeks to get yours, it's worth the wait. It's been a great process so far with Adam [MENTION=3805]Tune+[/MENTION]. I usually have a tune in my inbox when I wake up. I hop in the car, do a quick 3rd gear pull, and send him the data log and will have another by the afternoon. It's going quick. The 3rd revision is where I definitely noticed how much potential the x37 has.

Can't wait to move onto E30. I just feel bad for anyone who under estimates this sleeper.

Nice to hear. I'll be using 93 tune for daily driving but will get an E30 tune ironed out for when I really want to play or go to the track. Today was a month since I ordered the X-37 from Adam. It seems it is still a couple weeks out.

I waited a while too but it randomly showed up. It will show up don't worry haha.

Yeah, all I really care about is it showing up and me being able to tune it before the weekend of Aug 26th. All is well if everything is done before then. I can't imagine it taking me more than 3-4 hours to install with my buddies help.
I started with full CBE, intake, fmic. Then we tackled downpipe and manifold. We are both very familiar with this FiST and should have the turbo on in no time considering I used anti-seize on all the bolts. I probably just cursed the install...

You are first on the list when the new shipment arrives. Here is the flaw with this process and me middle-manning everything to get you guys a better deal and an easier process.

First, I have to order turbos in batches of 5 at a time. I ordered 5, and then within the same week ordered 5 more. So 10 total, that took up ALL of Pumaspeed's used cores.

So 5 were shipped out and were held up in customs for a full week, then a couple days to deliver to me. I got them boxed up and out to customers, a few days later the other 5 delivered to me and I got them shipped out. After those shipped out I ordered 5 more, and another 5 more the following week because they are selling like hotcakes. So I have 10 out in customers hands, and 10 on order. I can't get the 10 on order made until I get cores back from customers and some customers want to keep their stock turbo. So I have been buying stock cores when I see them online (if you have a big turbo on your car and want to sell your stock turbo please email me info@adamtuned.com) anyhow I have been buying stock cores just so I can get a faster turn around for my customers. Since those 10 were shipped I received 3 cores back from customers and I have purchased 2.

So now I have 5 cores, and 7 cores in the wild. I shipped out the 5 cores to Pumaspeed and they will be delievered on Monday, 5 turbos will be made into X-37 and shipped back out to me which is about a 7-10 day process.

The delay everyone is seeing in their order is because customers are slow to get cores back to me, but I want to let everyone know that I am doing what I can to speed up the process. Even if you purchase from Pumaspeed directly you will be behind my 10 orders (about to be 15) and they do not have any cores as the ones that come back immediately get shipped back out to me. Plus you would have to pay customs fee's coming in from the UK, source your own OEM gaskets, pay extra for the big turbo inlet, then ship your stock core back to the UK which because of the #BREXIT has been messy as hell.

I appreciate all the patience, it is well worth it as you can see from the reviews!

Sorry, it doesn't work like that it goes into the pile and they get shipped off the UK. Whenever I get new turbos, they ship in order from oldest to newest order.

Got e30 in the car tonight. Switched to the base e30 map and wow. Let's just say I was behind a turboed g37s. ( I heard the external wastegate and BOV) on a single lane road and he opened up his toy...so I got on the car in 4th gear with the g37 in front. He could not pull away. This was a friendly pull no race but he was definitely getting on it . He entered a turn lane and I passed him and continued straight. All I know is first off, that guy was pissed that a fiesta was hanging behind him and second, e30 is no joke. (Base tune). For all of those waiting...soooooo worth it!

Right on dude, you seem real content with your purchase. Wonder if it's worth it to go ewg with the x37?

 

[PBST03]

I would say it's not necessary. I ran a EWG on my sti to help control boost And give me an earlier spool. Honestly the x37 spools quick and holds all the way to redline. Unless you want the screaming fratetrain underneath your car then I'd say your fine haha. I have the [MENTION=3805]Tune+[/MENTION] wastegate as well. It does an excellent job.

How does the power u feel now compared to your STi? That would a good comparison from
U, yeah I bought the iwg from Adam aswell, I would go ewg but our province just made a strict car noise law. Who knows when I will get the x37

 

[Goingnowherefast]

Also has anyone been on track with the X37 yet? Just wondering how well the car can handle temps with significantly more power.

The fiesta feels faster than my sti did. My sti was putting out higher numbers but power vs weight ratio the fiesta is faster. Sti had 350whp. Fiesta is around 270 to 280. I could probably squeeze out a few more hp put of my ST with an intake but I love the complete sleeper look. (I'm running a cobb high flow filter)

I haven't verified anything yet, and I asked Adam this question when I was evaluating and his answer was that the X37 wouldn't be working as hard as the stock turbo to make power. Not working as hard to me equates to no additional heat beyond what is put out from the factory turbo.

 

[MS67]

I don't get how it won't be working as hard. Maybe if you're feathering the throttle to achieve the same overall power levels, but when I'm on the track it's balls to the wall.

 

[vegaspyder]

It just moves more air in the higher rpms and it's not spinning any faster than the stock turbo is probably the deal so it's not making anymore heat.

You'll at least still be accelerating instead of just boosting just enough over 5k to keep things moving! Still I'd love to hear a before and after track time!

I'm sure Pete will come in as soon has his comes in. He is one of our track guys. Give it a month and you might get your answer. But the power will take some getting used to. Seconds will be shaved for aure.

Guessing those numbers are been made on Ethanol? We don't have a station near by , so I'll be stuck with pump gas. Hopefully it's good enough:/)

91 octane was plenty fast for me. Don't worry about that. The power is amazing with pump gas too. I went with e30 because I was curious. I will be running 91 daily unless it's a drag race night at the track or I'm going on a cruise which never happens because I have children...plural. lol.

Lol, well I'm trying to be patient. People send your cores back!
I've heard some other things about this turbo from other users but I won't say what here. But let's just say this turbo is quite the Wolfe in Sheeps clothing.')
