Just asking as I know GPS recorders like Vbox tend to be a couple of MPH higher than what you get at a real strip. Do you have a real drag strip near you? |

Normally my wagner competition intercooler (tube and fine core) should arrive today. If thats the case I will pick it up tonight at the shop and install it myself tomorrow. I really hope this has improved flow over stock fmic. According to technical talks with wagner guy I am expecting it to be able to flow 1 to 1.5 psi more in top rpm. This together with more cooled air might give another edge on this upgrade. If above holds true I will be doing some more quartermile testing later this week
![]() Previously I had installed a Forge FMIC (bar and plate) which limited max boost by 1.5 to 2 psi in top end. Since I am running meth the IAT improvement was not that big (not expecting it to be on the wagner either) but due to flow restriction and corresponding pressure drop I lost 0.5 seconds 100-200kph. Which is quite a lot. Hence I sent it back to Forge. Keep in mind this is running max boost so the turbo cant give more to compensate. |

Got my turbo installed last Tuesday, been driving for a while now.. Finally got a chance to get about 40% E85 in there.. This thing pulls waay harder up top. The huge rush of torque around 2500ish is gone, so I'd say the powerband has shifted from the 2500-4500 range to about 3000-6500. It's awesome. For the money, well worth it. Can't wait to get it on a dyno!

Single gear pull say 4th gear? 2.5k rpm to 6.5k rpm? I am currently running 98 ron and meth. That might be similar to your 102 ron. I will do a log for your tomorrow. I usually dont start from as low 2.5k rpm...

![]() I'm totally fine with that ![]() A pull starting 3rd until 4th gear 6500rpm would be nice if you have the right place to do it. Or a 3rd gear only pull ![]() I'm from Germany so that's pretty easy for me. Where are you from? |

Thanks! I thoroughly enjoy watching these car ripping through the gears. Easily looks faster than my stock turbo car is in 45 degree weather.
