From what I have seen Greddy has increased prices on a few other items too, BOV's etc. Cost of materials must have gone up some?
No, their discount structure has changed. Before, resellers would get a varied discount structure but now it seems like everyone gets 20% across the board. So for those people who were getting the 33-35% off, they just got hosed 15%.

That's how it was explained to me yesterday since I was chompin at the bit on the DBW kit once it is out.

yes, Greddy did indeed change their dealer pricing structure. So their products will not get whored out everywhere by online shops and ebay sellers.

Well this is a Greddy turbo question thread so I guess I wouldn't be asking questions if I didn't have the kit right?

I am getting really low numbers wid my kit 211whp on a mustang dyno.... is there something wrong? I matched even with my buddies 05' stock sti before my tune but my dyno numbers are really shitty. During my tune I had boost creep at 8rpms @8.5psi, my tuner didn't want to go any further, there was no ping'ing tho. He did gain 30whp throughout the curve from the baseline pull of 193whp before tuning... my friend with a stock s2k dyno'ed 167whp. People have been suggesting water/menthenol injection, 3mm hg, or even downpipe fabricaton(recommended by Mitch harrisson from Greddy).

Mustang is know to be the heart breaker! A stock evo will only put 230 whp on our mustang. However it would seem 250 whp would be more in the range for what you have. Make sure all the IC pipes are tight. Water meth is an amazing addition and allow you to make more power safer than before! but it has to be tuned! We sell the best aka Aquamist... hit me up for pricing.

Anyone else find the front cat bolt is very close to the transmission case now? I didn't notice it first run, but after installing my UEGO sensor in the downpipe, it's very evident. I even had to loosen everything up just to get a 1/4" of clearance, because it was touching. I'm wondering if my downpipe is a little off.

Also: Is anyone running a BHC on stock exhaust?
I'm about to pull the trigger on one, and was wondering how much it helped the dip. I won't be installing exhaust until I port the waste gate.

I havent heard this before... however so you know the Berk High Flow Cat takes about a month to get if not longer. I would do it as well as the exhaust ASAP!

The sooner you put the exhaust on the better... you need it to flow as much as possiable to lower your EGT's to make the car safer.

Good luck

Ahhh! Just found out my fuel trim has me at 14.8 WOT! If your tuner "Tuned" your car in a day, you probably are running lean as well. had my doubts, but wasn't pinging.

Thanks for the tip Evan, my order is going in tonight. I still have to figure out how big I can go with the exhaust once I port it.
