honestly I have no idea how much its reduced.. im hoping a good year or two years worth of happy boosting on these turbos.. there like new and i only plan on maybe 3-4K a year and mostly will be light driving nothing harsh.. so i dont see the twins hitting 15psi for very long when they do.. so my fingers are crossed..

if i hit 350rwhp ill be one happy camper! expecially with bein seq and unported..

in my mind for a street car why would i ever need more than that?

just got home from the dyno I put down 317 rwhp on a dyno dynamics dyno.

Mods: intake, smic, dp, res mp, rb catback, pfc, large streetport, and greddy pullies. I told steve 14 psi but I believe I was around 13 to 13.5 on my final run.

It runs great, much much smoother and way more powerful! Getting rid of the bouncing idle was worth the trip alone.

I am not in a hurry to get to the track. I will eventually but I am just gonna enjoy how it runs for now.

understood man! glad to hear you like your setup.. me personally im looking for more power than that, i just hope my seq/unported motor expectations of 350whp is reasonable at around 14-15psi

I had steve tune my fd and so did my roomate. he is not a conservative tuner to be honest he tunes a little aggressive in my opinion. He is a very nice guy but, he missed a small problem that i would think someone with his reputation should be able to find.
As far as your next mod you should do and if you are going to use steve kahn as your tuner maybe try a water/meth kit. If you are shooting for the top end of the twins you are going to be running a higher amount of boost using the water meth might make it easier to get the power numbers you want with less boost so you may get longer life out of your motor and twins and the possibility of a higher hp number than you shot for if you decide you want to.

i failed.. totally missed that last row. just suggesting the water pump then... lol

ur setup looks really good. definitly will hit 350whp @ 15psi if engine compression and turbo condition's good. i made 340whp@14psi with very similar setup.
