I said so you could have bought the V8 with that 4k you wasted on the V6 he said yea but I wanted to build it up IMO if you want to make something faster its beter to start with a beter platform IE: V8

The numbers from this guys turbo set up. Stock internals I believe.
I will have talley post the dyno chart. Here are the numbers/deal
276HP 311 TQ, 7psi.
The tune from Justin is awesome. I make 250 FT/lbs at 3k before I even hit boost. He worked his magic, especially for what I gave him. I recommend him to EVERYONE.
I hit full boost in 4th on the dyno at 3900 rpm. Boost starts building at 3000 rpm. My blow thru MAF setup is not ideal, and there were large power/tq fluctuations due to turbulence in the MAF. I was robbed of about 20rwhp/tq from that alone. I have plenty left in this fuel system/block. I am going to smooth the MAF transitions, add a 10psi wastegate spring, double check for exhaust leaks, wrap the entire pre-turbo exhaust in header wrap, and add water injection. This will easily get me to my goal of 350 rwhp.
