Awesome first day. The plan was to make sure it drives straight. I let go of the wheel once and it was like butter. Cadillac pass.
I hate fighting a car and I have with it in the past. So I made sure it ran A-B effortless.

I played with the controller and made sure it was a steady pressure.

So 7.9@177 with a 2.2 second boost ramp, 3,800 rpm 5 psi launch, and 20 Psi!!! 2,030 rpm shift drop! Begging for more.

177 mph on 6.5 psi less than the old turbo.

Track was coooold and not very tight. Had to run 4" of travel to hook lol

Next weekend Im going to work on getting the 60 and 330 down. Start adding power now that I know the car is 100% top to bottom.________

At least if it breaks, it's just dust and not beating up the bottom of the car.

That was the big selling point to me. That and the warranty. It is supposed to more torsional movement for less shock to the drivetrain. So should benefit a small amount.

It has a ton of room elsehwere. It rubbed the front of the quarter panel since the perch tore and shoved the axle forward.
