Happy with the boost pressure now?. I see the threshold rpm is lower too, good thing. Comp temps up but gotta expect that with more boost.

Great data set. thanks for posting. You are getting boost and air flow mass beyond any I have seen on my 3rd gear pulls with Cobb S3.

One thing I do not understand. Your time between 2500 and 6500 rpm, around 9 sec, is slower than I expected. My most recent 3rd gear pulls over that rpm range are 7.8 sec or so. What am I missing?

No more "turbo transformer". It works AWESOME, but when you have 1,000% control from $650 worth of cobb stuff,
Its no longer needed. But without the access tuner software, the TT works well even on cobb ots tunes, but let's not open that can of worms in this thread ;)
Yup yup I agree and wasn't looking to do any of that just needed a kick start on my memory module . :)

Another long day on the car, making ABS ducting to keep all the air possible going through the IC, radiator and oil cooler...now I have a bumper cover, grill, hood, lights......just have to put on the air dam and mod and install the fender liners which will go quickly then off on some adventures breaking in the car then tune, finally!

I still have to I finish the rolling and pulling on the passenger side but that can wait until I get everything else done, just have to before I head to the track.

Well I've seen enough to sway myself over to something else. This will be a great upgrade for most people but I'm going to go with a ATP kit. The stock turbine is way too small and the current logged spool rate vs. power output isn't up to what I'm looking at for my needs.

Still look forward to seeing the development of this though, please keep posting the logs and data!

Which is exactly what I've been saying since day one...though you didn't want to hear it then. #justsayin'



Anyways, definitely interested in seeing the logs tonight when I get home from work. I'm pretty sure that I'm in the same boat as Razor in the fact that this probably won't fit my needs, but it's fun to look at data and just like any other product it will definitely fit in with the needs of some. What is the total cost/time looking like so far? Did you already port your exhaust manifold or is this on the stock manifold?

Edit: I glanced at them on my phone. Nearly 30 degree charge temp increase on the third-gear pull-ouch.

Remember it is a stock IC, stock intake, etc......

I will break my engine in over the next few days then start logging so you may want to hold off on the ATP, which has no bottom end...I am sold on the AFR is this does not work out for my needs.

I live locally to ATP and depending on turbo used, I disagree with that statement.

Doing the math, the stock turbine will not meet my needs, in whatever config the compressor is.

This.

You going with the GTX2860RS any chance?? That's what I've been eyeing.

If you get the ATP unit will you by chance be taking your car to the track. I would love to see what that thing can do on E45 or E85
