Here are a couple videos. The first one is inside my friends Black FD that dyno'd @ 329WHP on stock turbos. alot of the time we are just cruising around having fun on the track, but If you want to skip to where I race the Mustang, Corvette, and AMG go to 10:20. Otherwise watch the whole video and enjoy. Second video is with a single turbo Rx7 with unknown hp. (not my friends rx7)

Ill share what this winter has brought.
I installed a lift in my new Shop
Sneak Peak under the body & some aero.... Should be a little bit louder than previous exhaust set-up. Just a little....
Splitter I made. Looks can be deceiving The splitter actually protrudes forward 4.5" Functional but still streetable.
Other Fine Modifications made were:
- (4) new FIC 1650cc injectors so I can run higher boost this summer. 25psi will be the number.
- Engine oil pan brace kit from banzai racing
- New 4" exhaust Turbo back, Pre-axle dump no cats, no mufflers.
- Some Modifications to the intercooler piping.
- New Titanium Exhaust wrap on turbo manifold and exhaust
- Added Water temp gauge.
- Bought a snowmobile and went on a sweet trip out west in the mountains. It Was Awesome!
Cheers!

Installed a new Low profile, High Capacity oil pan from Rx8performance. This thing did the trick, My car no longer looks lick it has a beer gut. The oil pan is now above the cross-member. No more scrapping of oil pan

how long did the stock tranny last or did you even bother trying. I keep hearing they are weak but it sound more of a shifting issue then power. I have not researched it to much.

One of two things.... Either leaned out at high rpm and detonated. Or back pressure on the engine from the turbo cause an apex seal to let go. I sent in my turbo for an inspection (turbine was difficult to turn by hand) and the rear hot side bearing was seized. So.... Idk frustrating. But on the bright side. Time for upgrades.
