Looks like it needs bit of tweaking to me.

40 miles added to the car today, back on the lift to inspect every nut, bolt, seal, welds, etc...all looks good I will start pounding on the miles, today!

Then get it tuned as soon as broken in and see what the modded turbo does with all the supporting mods done at the highest level I have seen so far.

Needs a tune and another pull, has to be a reason the power does not look so great at the moment.

Maybe you can borrow some lighter weight smaller diameter tires from a member at the dyno day?

I did not mean super light, more like the average guy wheel and tire weight geared for performance over looks......

I guess I will be the one, or the other guy with the bigger clip, to show what this turbo can do:)

Awesome. So much boost at the top! 250whp should be easy... I can't wait to see what Rick and that other ST with the clipped turbo will put down. I'll probably be going the EFR route when somebody decides to put it out.

I was one day away from ordering an EFR and parts to build an adapter to mount it and the rest of parts needed when SS and I talked and I sent my turbo off to help test this out.

My turbo is clipped, just not as much as the other guy, I did not want to give up to much bottom end as this is a multipurpose car that will have my wife and 200lbs worth of doggies, groceries, site seeing gear, in it quite often.

I should have enough miles on the car in a few days to start making some pulls and then get the tune done.
