Well it all started when I blew my turbo on Saturday night 11/19/2011. I didnt feel like doing the work in my driveway in the cold. Also have to many other thing going on like moving. So Monday morning I got called PSI PROformance and talked to Steve for like 45 minutes about all my ideas I had. Different turbos and a new tune were definitely needed! We decided on a Percision Turbo SC5252E and a cast manifold again. They got the turbo and new manifold on order! Then to find out that the turbo was on backorder a few days later. They also gave me there cell numbers and kept me up to date on everything they did. Steve even took pics and sent them to me of there work! After a week Precision Turbo shipped out the new turbo. So they got to work pulling all the old parts off my motor and started the rebuild only to find out that treadstone changed where the turbo mounts on their cast manifold. So my old intake and downpipe were useless. Thats ok seeing that Travis is a awesome fabractor and made me a new 3 inch intake and a 2.5 inch stainless downpipe with a V-band clamp at the turbo. Also installed a Y pipe on the downpipe for the QTP E-cutout! While Travis was busy welding Steve started to clean my bay up a little bit. He wrapped my engine harness and tucked a bunch of hoses and wires. After they finshed the install it was time to strap it to the rollers and make some power! Something I have been waiting for since my last tune that made my car run like crap! Steve's turn to work his magic on his laptop! Steve did a few pulls at 7psi and the car ripped it made 267whp and 228wtq. Then I wanted more. So he cranked the boost up to 9.5psi and made a few more pulls and made an impressive 301whp and 250wtq. Steve definitely got me to the 300whp mark I wanted to see! In the end I made a few new friends and more power with a smaller turbo and less pounds of boost and it has a smooth power curve.
New setup!!
