    AFRs are nice and smooth, assuming the dyno doesnt have a crazy smoothing factor in place. 

    Do you have a compressor map for your turbo? otherwise what are the specs and I will try to find one

    I have one a couple of pages back.

    440whp? Yea I would be a bit disappointed. Use a wastegate spring that's the lowest boost you want and use an electric boost controller on top of that for mad boostages. Aren't you running a 40r? Man I'm not that impressed. Turn up the boost and wake it up! You aren't even getting into the good part :) This thing is a beast and I can't wait to see it in person!

    I will turn it up for sure.  I might wait until this weather warms up.  There are times that I spin in 5th gear with the cold and salt on the road.

      I'm not too good with dyno charts yet but aren't the HP and Torque lines supposed to intersect at a consistent spot at a lower rpm?

        Interesting.....  call them up and ask why they dont intersect at 5252 RPM.

        EDIT: It looks like the Y-axis on the left and right sides is unequal. If you equated them, it would probably intersect at 5252

          I guess the computer auto-scales the graph to make it more "readable".

            Just watched the videos
            Goodness, that thing squats down pretty hard on the rollers there  O__O

            Everyone knows it and has said it, but you have put together a pretty serious machine!

            also

            your coat reminded me of this.

            Thanks for the footage!!

              It's cold out there, son!  :D

              Thanks, Snap!  Maybe next winter I'll upgrade the fuel system and go megasquirt.  I'll be calling you hourly when I cross that bridge.

                I'll wrap this day up with a couple of words:

                From my last dyno run to today I basically got my sparkplugs right, added a full 3in exhaust, fixed a couple vacuum leaks and added CCV.  I thought the vacuum leaks would hinder HP more than it did or maybe the exhaust is way more restrictive now than it was coming straight out of the hood.  In the end I'm in a good spot with only more to gain.  Now who wants to pull out my wastegate for me??

                            List of things I need.

                            -Fuel pressure regulator adapter for a M50.

                            -PLX Devices power plug for the wideband.

                            -Bigger I.D. vacuum line for my wastegate and the fittings to go with it.

                            The vacuum line should raise the boost up but I don't want to do that until I get my wideband working (again). Then I can dial it in with the FPR.

                            I'm also going to have Kummrow fix my oil leak. Messed my arm up and wrenching probably shouldn't be happening.

                                      Your valve cover is powder coated right?  Is the underside coated as well?  I am getting mine done, and plan on leaving the studs and little screws in and just getting new ones afterwards so that they will keep the coating out of the threads.  Just curious how you did it.

                                        Your valve cover is powder coated right?  Is the underside coated as well?  I am getting mine done, and plan on leaving the studs and little screws in and just getting new ones afterwards so that they will keep the coating out of the threads.  Just curious how you did it.

                                        I ordered it from Renewed Finishes in Cali. Not sure what he did with bolts. The underside is bare metal.
