I'm no expert, but shouldn't you be making more than 180 with those mods?

Completely stock, it should have about 210-215ish to the wheels... with just open exhaust, around 240; all at stock 10psi.

If everything is working correctly (i.e. great engine compression, proper working turbo system), you'd probably be around 240 rwhp at 10 PSI. The max we have seen the stock twins make was just a hair over 400 rwhp. However, that was only done by one person so it's more of an anomaly than something that's obtainable. If you get the stock twins to around 360 rwhp, that's doing pretty darn good.

Somewhere in that neighborhood. Most bone stock FD's will make about 215-220 to the ground.

Things to start with -

- Fresh set of spark plugs and spark plug wires

- Get your boost pattern right, should be doing at least 10-8-10. If you haven't ever replaced your check valves, now's a good time for my Viton check valves

- Check for boost leaks, make sure the Y-pipe coupler isn't split. If you're losing boost, you lose a LOT of horsepower.

before you dyno, please get a compression check. i think most places will want or make sure of this before hand.

Routine maintenance would be a good start:

* Change spark plugs
* Change/check plug wires
* Change O2 sensor
* Change/check fuel filter
* Coolant flush
* Oil and filter change
* Intake filter clean/change
