Fuel system, I personally feel like the dyno wasn't loading the car enough for 30psi. The strip at TI did and shows the weakness is the fuel system. Depending how crazy Tiago wants to get I'll push this bitch to whatever the turbo will make

here is the intercooler, 9x7x10 bell core wrapped in my sheet metal.
I'm sure the injectors are having trouble. pumps i am not convinced.. if you could get the voltage to hold around 14 at wide open you would be sitting pretty!
I'm still waiting for vids and time slips!

No discredit to the new power mods, but the previous set up was built with different goals and different compromises were made; for example a muffler, an air filter, a stock hood latch, stock radiator and radiator support with stock fans were on the car 147hp ago. I have a feeling the stock intake and throttle body are next on the chopping block lol!
it would if it were my car.

Stock intake and TB will stay on this car until they prove to be a restriction. As far as goals you are correct they were different but I believe with enough practice and ***** the car is capable of going faster lol.
I will check on the voltage and if the pumps can hold the power i don't mind leaving them.
No one doubts the t4 setup and how you ran the car before, we all know it was a monster. when the motor blew I decided to make it a little more my style and I think it's better this way for the racing I will do 99% of the time.
You know you are always welcome to pilot this car

just for reference, the only reason we had to loose the stock hood latch was because of the intercooler layout, we didn't want to redo all of that, so there was only one place for the intake piping to go through unfortunately... it wasn't optimal or my desire, but we were trying to not reinvent the whole turbo kit lol.

Stock intake and tb like you have will get you into the 7s@170+ and even go to 8000 rpm, seen it, not sure on how ideal, been looking for dyno graphs at high rpm but can't find any
