The car just got finished being dyno'd by Defined Autoworks yesterday, and the temps looked great… but this doesn’t mean it won’t overheat while drifting, so I can’t give you a good answer until I hit the track sometime in June. I will post the dyno results and a video of it later on today.
Thanks everyone for all your support!

Defined Autoworks exceeded my expectations in building the exhaust manifold and putting together this single turbo setup. I made more power then I was planning to, and I actually asked them to run even safer AFRs (10.8), in order to reduce power since I was going to break 500rwhp.
I know I will get asked this so let me explain why I only wanted 400rwhp at the beginning:
- engine has never been rebuilt (wanted reliability)
- more power will increase the chance to breaking the transmission/differential/axles
- more power = more heating issues
- more power is more money in terms of tire width and tire/time ratio
The end results were: 475rwhp & 430ft-lbs tq @ 14psi
FC is back home!

You can always ship your car to them like this guy from California who shipped his 911 Porsche to have a 20B turbo put in and tuned to over 600rwhp
Also, here is the dyno video of my FC by Defined Autoworks:

Lol I wish... actually I still have significant turbo lag believe it or not. I know the front mount doesn't help for that, but the main reason is because we are running a 13psi spring and we were not able to use the boost controller. What I plan on doing next is get a smaller spring and add the boost controller back so I can bring the torque curve closer to 3k rpm.

Here are a few run I had first time out with all of this power... I didn't get the car dialed in the way I wanted to... first time with a full cage, no rear sway bar, and all that power with too skinny tires... still need a few more practices to fully get used to it.

The car didn't feel as good as I wanted in terms of traction and balance, I didn't feel comfortable pushing it more and when I did I spun haha... I honestly didn't have the traction for that kind of power so I hope to have that sorted out for the next even.

I finally got knuckles for the first time in 5 years of drifting this car... I have to say it took me a couple of events (after much fail) to get used to it... and I still have a lot to learn, but I put a small video together from the last practice this year, so let me know what you think
