1/2 bridge---microtech---stock turbo dyno!
Well finally got the car on the dyno. ended up with 266whp and 266tq @ 12pds of boost. The car is screaming for a big turbo. driveability on the car is great. Very happy with the outcome now to save some cash for the turbo.
Ended up leaving the print out. after a few hours of tuning, it being 12:30am, and work in the morning. I was just so happy the car was done and couldn't get it off the dyno and on the road fast enough.

.smokin joe tuned the car at tri-state in queens.

i'm going crazy trying to find the right turbo. I was looking at the garrett gt42r, which i've been told I probably won't like for the street. I just started looking at presicion turbos which I heard good things about. Really have no idea and the money is tight right now. So as soon as the cash comes in I'll be picking up random parts here and there. I'm aiming for 500 on pump gas at low boost.
266ft lbs of torque on the stock turbo, wow..

I don't mean to bring the happy congrats mood down, but I am a little confused. First of all congrats, 266 hp to the wheels sounds really fun.
Reason I'm confused: A street ported NA s5, tuned correctly, and proper intake/exhaust mods puts down around 200 rear wheel HP. ( Or so I hear... correct me if I am wrong.)
My question is, if you are doing 12 PSI, (almost 1 bar I think) shouldnt you be putting almost twice the amount of air into the engine as an NA thats at atmospheric pressure? I know efficiency isn't by far perfect, BUT techincally your only making 5.5 horsepower per PSI. Isn't that kinda low?
Looking at your reactions about the stock turbo, maybe its just that the turbo is way past its limit of efficiency? Maybe PSI isnt as important as flow or the mass of air your getting into your engine? I have heard something about that before, where you can do 12 psi with a smaller turbo, or 6 psi with a bigger turbo and get the same power? Maybe someone could clear this up?
(I WANT to be corrected, and am just curious what the are factors that cause you not to have over 300 HP with your setup.)
Thanks.

Is it just the turbos efficiency that causes the engine to pull away from the turbo? So a bigger turbo would cause it to be able to pressurize more air at higher RPMs (its designed efficiency range), thus causing him to get the 12 psi all the way through to redline. THEN easily hitting 300 hp?
See now only running 7 psi, 266 sounds about right. Almost 10 hp/psi.
Yay! Now I have figured everything out that was confusing me.
Now in this example, would one of the BNR hybrids help or would the stock part of the turbo that your keeping (I dont know if its the hot or cold side) still be the bottleneck?

Seriously, though, an s5 NA with a very good street port, proper exhaust, CAI, and a very good tune puts down around 190 the wheels if you are lucky. Anything much past that requires an aftermarket intake like ITB's. To my knowledge there are no NA's with street ports and stock intakes that have put down 200 to the wheels.
And you have to admit that the claim is impressive enough to doubt it without a graph at least.But if you did thats unpresidented so congrats...
