FP is forced performance. They are a well known turbo company... Just like Borg Warner or precision etc

Jeff, I looked through the few logs I still have. Looks like I was hitting peak load around 270 - 280, and peak airflow was in the mid 4000's. I was only ever at 16psi, my boost controller has never worked well enough for me to have the confidence to turn it up. I guess I was close to maxxing my load and didn't even know.

After I fix all the little issues with my car, I'm sure it will run significantly better and I will need to fid a fix for that 299 max load. Especially if I go getting billet turbos >

are you kidding??...lol

Forced Performance....they make some killer turbos...they know what they're doing.

[Granny]

That's an impressive list!

I think we all struggle with enough time and money but it sounds like you have a plan.

Everything will come together.

dont yell at me jeffery!

i knew exactly what you were talking about before you sent that.

you should be able to change your maf size and your maft settings to stay below that cap. it gives you less resolution to play with in your tune, but there should still be plenty of room for you to have a solid setup i would think. i am curious what your doubts would be about that... mainly because you can figure it out before i get there bahahahaha!

[kywhitelightning]

There's something with that though. Once it peaks, who knows what it should or could go up to. I could stop the Hz from climbing in the translator but then I have to retune.

yeah i know what you mean. because of how you are tuning and the methods of control you are using, it really shouldnt affect what you are wanting to do. but like we discussed earlier, if i go with load based boost control, hitting a cap would be a bad thing.

A bit of a sneak peak.

The car is almost done. I have sanded the whole thing once, but plan to go over it once more (1500) then one more time again with 2000.

Just for fun we buffed a small part of a fender to see what it would look like. The results have me getting excited. I'm not sure if you can see the pearl, but I think it looks fantastic. Oh, and we didn't use any kind of a finishing buff. This is just the first stage, no wax or anything. Just a quick and dirty look image.jpg

[kywhitelightning]

Was there a paint issue before or are you getting it ready for shows?

The reflection is certainly crisp. Looking good.

I didn't know what the paint code was before because the PO painted it a non stock color. Not a big deal if I had a bumper and hood painted to match. But i didn't . This is the pearl white that comes on subarus and the FRS

Satin white pearl I believe it's called.
