Supporting Modifications and Tuning
whoosh motorsports suggests the following modifications to maximize the power potential of our hybrid turbo. These modifications are the minimum requirements. Adding additional performance modifications will result in more power with proper tuning

- performance drop in filter or air intake kit

- performance intercooler upgrade

- catless 3" downpipe or hi-flow catted 3" downpipe

- COBB Accessport V3 with a custom calibration from TunePlus Inc, JST, Stratified, or Dizzy Tuning, based on your modifications and fuel used


Installation and Break In
Professional installation if highly suggested. Use the new oil drain gasket, manifold to turbo, and turbo to downpipe fire ring gaskets provided during installation. Fresh 5W-30 Synthetic oil with a new filter is required at install as well. A turbo oil priming procedure is required before starting the vehicle. This prevents starting the turbo "dry" of oil which can damage the turbo's internal parts.

Oil Prime Procedure: push the gas and clutch pedals to the floor; and push the START button for about 10 seconds of it cranking. Make sure it's not in gear and never lift off the gas pedal. Do this 2-3 times and it will get oil where it needs to be without starting the car and running the turbo without oil in it

Once the turbo install and oil Prime Procedure are complete, start the vehicle, check for leaks and let idle for approx 15 minutes followed by normal driving for approx 50 miles before going wide open throttle. You must also have a base tune loaded from your tuner of choice before going wide open throttle as well. Other than working with your tuner to fine tune your hybrid based on the specific modifications and fuel you are using, the last part of the break in procedure is adding another fresh oil & filter service after 1500 miles driven using 5W-30 full synthetic oil

We don’t have 93 in my country, can we use 91 Tune and run the turbo??

 

[ron@whoosh]

yes sir, I would expect approx 260whp on 91 octane

 

[ron@whoosh]

This is looking like a more affordable X47R, and from Whoosh, which is fantastic news!

I have a question that may seem silly, but I'll ask it anyways because I honestly do not know the answer.

With this (or a comparable) turbo and an auxiliary fuel system, would it be possible to attain 300whp or more on 93 octane, or is an ethanol tune required? 300whp is my end goal, but I have absolutely no interest in ethanol blends whatsoever. Thanks in advance.

before we get too far ahead of ourselves with numbers a few turbos were delivered today so numbers even if v-dyno should be popping up soon

who's going to be the first with whooshy mcblow on the road?

Ron, excuse me if i ask too much, I don’t know too much about tuning. It is necessary to buy:

(I’m in the budget side)

cheapest set up is the Go Fast Bits w/11psi wastegate
both upgrades are needed. I only have the options to not purchase them in case the customer already has one of these upgrades in their possession already

 

[CSM]

Subbing for results!

 

[Se7eN]

It's a very nice set up, I really like how it includes the gaskets and fire-rings.

 

[Dpro]

This with a AET ceramic coates ported mani will be sick.

Vudu whoosh STH Turbo the Sith. Cause its gonna make evil power. Count Duku vudu.

Amazing piece Ron, thank you for your constant innovation!

Power seems very good for an hybrid, very comparable to the others from my understanding, but I have a question: you're saying it maxes out the fuel pump of the car, but I thought the max was around 350WHP on pump gas? I'm sure as an hybrid, it makes a lot of power early in comparison, but I'm pretty sure I saw some people around here pushing 320++WHP on bigger non-hybrid.

I don't want to piss on your parade or anything, I'm just wondering about that claim, that is all.

Nonetheless, it's a very interesting turbo at a very interesting price, can't wait to see actual results!
