Turbo is a .48/.42 . Don't really want to go over 250 (plus it spools quick as hell). Car put down 230 when i got it, and that was on a slipping OEM clutch, a failing turbo, and an leaky charge pipe. We'll see what Alpha can do w/ it this afternoon. Thanks to all the guys at Proven Power for the awesome job.
. In for the real numbers.

Unfortunitly, the boost controler supplied (home depot pipe fittings) just wasnt doing it for us so we were forced to tune off the spring (6psi). We made 170whp and approx 130wtq.
He is returning this week for EBC install so we can utilize the 3bar we originally installed.
Edit: Also to note. Car came in with same turbo & stock map sensor, so there is no way he previously made the power that was told to him by the last tuner.

Def doesnt suck, just never good to half ass a boost controller ... He'll get his EBC and turn it up a little higher than 6lbs and he'll easily hit his power goal.
It was our choice to sacrifice the numbers for this dyno shared_session and not use the supplied boost controller. We decided it would be best to come back and get it done corrrectly with EBC through Neptune.
