I finally got it tuned correctly and the car is a blast. We put on the correct hotside and modified my downpipe for vband.

I made 375rwhp and 252 torque @ 11psi. Keep in mind I have the 3mm headgasket and it was 103 degrees F outside. I have full boost right before 4K and this car feels nasty. Hopefully nothing will break for awhile

Congrats Justin! Enjoy your S!

11 psi! Awesome bro. What manifold are you running and why only 11psi? Don't get me wrong, those numbers are impressive for only 11 psi, but why not say 16-17 and make over 450?

I'm glad your car is running and not being a pita right now. Congrats.

I'm not running a boost solenoid, and for some reason my car made 9 psi whereas it made 7 last time. We used a T fitting on the wastegate line for fun which added 2psi (like a little manual boost controller) so I'm driving around on 11 psi.

The spool characteristics of this turbo are incredible vs. what I had on my old setup. I'm going to just have fun with the car for awhile and go for the boost solenoid in the future and retune for higher boost
