    Right now I’m twinned with a 28 feeding a 40 but I might just take it back to the 28 only as I don’t like the fabrication look and the wastegate is weird with both but the power is all time spooling under the 3k range until you force the ecu to think differently

    Ya that engine with the right tune and the right turbo is what makes it such a common short track racer these days having the ecu tuner give you all the options without breaking the motor and if I do pop the motor it would take 4 hours to swap a new one and with 2 step tuning it’s scary fast off...

I bought a special ecu tuner cost me...

    Yes it was from Boise, Idaho actually... and its now roughly roughly 600HP after the turbo and I say that because I tuned each gear now separately to keep the wheels from spinning "too" much 1st gear has no more than 350HP and each gear jumps near 100HP. it runs 50/50 front to back wheels. I...

    Alpine V Mod... Dropped in an 285 HP S2K

    No worries and thank you. I will make adjustments as needed. Engine is fully equipped with blue driver vehicle monitoring that uploads to my phone in real time while I am driving and I can pull reports anytime needed and set perimeters just in case, but not too worried the unit is spec'd to keep...
