Since it still has the pre-cat and main cat,
it might make 10HP more than stock.

My guess is about 250-260 at the wheels depending on boost. Stock is 10 psi. Add around 15 hp for every extra pound. The dp should add another 20 hp or so. Your friend probably doesn't have a chance. Also change your plugs if you haven't already. Fouled ones can cost you as much as 20 hp or more. Trust me, I dynoed with bad ones once.

Thumbs down Boxster's blow...

base boxster S is 250 flywheel hp. You should whip his *** . Changing the plugs is a good idea...you can do it yourself without jacking the car up. Took me half an hour at most last week. Gapping the damn plugs is a pain in the *** though ...

Stock FDs have around 210-220 rwhp so with those mods I'd say you have around 30 more hp so 250 at the wheels or 295-300 at the flywheel. I know for sure that a pfs ic adds 13 rwhp from a before and after dyno run I saw. With a dp and PFC you'll be in the 290 rwhp and 340-350 at the flywheel. What you have now will pull a Boxter S. I don't even believe they pull 13's - I think 14.1 is their fastest time. Race him and put him in his place - and get a dp - it's a must for the turbos!!!

Question How about...

Allright, I'll bite since his mods are similiar to mine..

PFS intake, PFS IC, DP, midpipe w/cat, PFS exhaust? Umm, no added fuel (shiver). Boost is around 7 primary, spikes to around 14 at transition, drops to about 11 afterwards.

Will dyno soon after the clutch is replaced, those big transitions have nearly killed it. I know I need fuel and am working on it... Friend is installing a dyno and I'd love to be able to surprise him with a decent amount of power. 300RW maybe? Or is that a bit too much?

2Turbos,

Go to my site and check the dyno part. I have simular mods and boost but no 14 psi spike. (I would look in to that.) I made 290 with stock main cat. I think you might see about another 5-10 with a highflow. There is also a link on my dyno part that has info on several runs on my dyno day including 2 cars that match yours down to the brand names. Heat soak was a problem though. Dave at KD really needs to invest in a good dyno fan. PS At some point I'll be doing a before/after test with stock cat compared to high flow. I don't think it has been done or at least hasn't been put up on the web.
