Congrats on the numbers! Is the car fun to drive?

What I would recommend before you spend a LOT of money going to a larger single and tube manifold and such that you do some other stuff first.

First I agree that you need a FMIC/V-mount intercooler setup,

Next I would snag a good electronic boost controller, it will be a noticable upgrade from the turbosmart MBC.

After that I would get rid of the SAFC and get either a real standalone, or since you are short on cash maybe a Rtec 2 series.

Going to a larger single setup costs A LOT MORE than most people think, and I wouldn't doubt that with better tuning, getting rid of the interheater, and having the EBC, you could gain a considerable amount of power and driveability for very little investment. But again, great numbers! Just don't blow it up now.

BTW, do you have a graph you can post maybe? I have a friend that has almost your exact setup and I am sure he would love to see the graph.

yea sure ill have to scan it in and then when i get a chance post it up. but thanks for the advice on everything. is their really a noticable diff with the ebc??? im suprised that the mbc actually holds the boost level and really doesnt spike as bad as i thought. as far as the rest of my setup i already have a fmic just need to do piping. and i already have a tubular mani and i was looking into the holset hx35 or hx40. what would you recommend. both are pretty afforadable and seem to be great turbos.

The EBC will help the boost build faster from 1 psi to your 15 psi. The thing is, that your current MBC is a spring, it isnt an on off switch. If your MBC is set for 15 psi, the MBC spring is begining to open at 10 psi, and is fully open at 15 psi. But when it starts to leak at that 10 psi, it is slowly opening up your wastegate, moving your wastegate open, not allowing it to get boost as fast as it could. Now still having a MBC is a lot better than not having one, but a EBC will help spool up your turbo a little bit faster. (as it is an on off switch)

I do not know much about the hx35 and hx40 stuff. Sorry. I personally think that 320-370 rwhp is more than any person could need in a light street car.

Congrats on the numbers and there's nothing wrong with a MBC. You aren't going to see a significant enough difference to justify the cost of a EBC.


The ONLY "gain" from an EBC, is the convenience of being able to adjust from inside the car.

nice.. didnt think you could tune 1000's with an safc.. but.. MORe power to you.

Nice numbers.

How was the afr's on your run? I hope your runing hella rich because you are not tunning the timing.
