You are aware that the 500R turbo has done 500rwhp @ 20psi on 93 octane right? 13psi on 93 would have been pointless to me. Why would I fill up and get a tune with 100 or 110(Christian only said 100 was available near him) and get a tune with that when I can't get it near me?(without driving so far out of the way that it makes it poinless) Thats just dumb. I want HIGH boost(20++) on C16 with dyno sheet proof, not 13 +1-2 psi on 100 octane with no clue... I can get C16 much easier than 100octane..
I need dyno numbers, I tried to convince Christian to stop by a shop that is literally 5 minutes from the airport on the way to his house. I could have had the car on the dyno running with C16 in the tank waiting for BDC to walk in the door and tune it for an hour and then be out.
Yeah, I know it was short notice, and a bit of a favor to do for someone he'd never met. But, there was no one set to go immediatley wednesday morning in the rain.... Why he refused I dunno, he lost $350 for BDC.
Gotta love street tuning threads where people say "so how did everyone do?" What is there to respond with?? "Gee I dunno... The car runs... but I don't have a ******* clue what its putting down!"
I would have liked to meet BDC and learn a few things from him though.
Oh well, Steve has my deposit anyway. Eric, keep us posted when Steve gets back to you.

From RC3 site:
"Here are some things to consider...
-Pump gas will be tuned to a max of ~13 PSI
-Any race fuel to whatever PSI you want...within reason.
-PowerFC, Microtech or Haltech ECUs only.
-These will all be street tunes. No dyno tuning will be available."
While Brian and I did numerous laps up and down Rt.41, he tuned my maps using wastegate spring only, approximately 8psi. He tuned the car for as high as I want to boost it, he reccomended running 100 octane for 14 to 18psi. Anything higher than that will put motor in jeopardy of failure.
As to answer what it put down, I dynoed 5/4/07 at 5pm and put down 362hp at 14 psi and 362hp at 17psi on a dynodynamics, Eddy current dyno. My AFR was steady 11.8 all the way thru 7800 rpm's. It was not nesc. to run the car at 18 psi to tune it for 18psi. Kinda looks like mine was'nt the first car he ever tuned.
Don't forget, your driving an FD!! If you really want reliability your gonna have to sell that car!
Eric, you hear back from Steve with any dates yet?

I was told by seller that turbo was a TO4 s, but BDC called it something else that I don't recall. My only point was that it seems like people think he won't tune your car for any more than 13psi, and that just is not the case. I believe he's running his car at 25psi with meth injection.

Not a daily driver. Reliability in its purest form would be smallblock. See Jimlab thread.
