Alright let me update the community and bring this thread back to life.
I got my car back last Tuesday. I waited on the update because i wanted to drive it and see how it goes. So right now I have been driving it everyday for the last week and i am loving every min of it. The power is smooth and not erratic through the power band. My boost kicks in around 3000 RPM and it puts you in your seat a little bit. As for fuel economy I am pretty much getting the same MPG as I did before the kit.
Now while it was at the shop they put it on the dyno and I will post the run sheet. Before everyone jumps all over it please keep in mind that this is off the internal waste gates and for everyone's knowledge i want to say they are rated at .4 bar which is about 5.88 psi. PSI can be different though depending on how he adjusted them. Also my tq is a little low in this run because like I said it is off the waste gates but SAM told me that is easy to get that up higher with the boost controller. I do not know exactly why he didn't dyno the car with the boost controller set up. Personally I think he mainly put it on there just to verify tune and wasn't trying to see the biggest number he could get out of it. So with that said I am in luck. My buddy owns a 2007 Z06 vette with a built motor and supercharged. Tomorrow he rented a dyno for the whole day since he has some things he is doing to his car(don't know exactly)and requires it to be on the dyno to do it. Well he is going to let me strap my car down and do some pulls with it and see what it is doing with the boost controller set up. I will post those runs tomorrow.
As for the shops impression of the GTM kit, they were completely amazed with it and he told me that he has never seen a kit so well put together and that also fitted so nice before. Then he continued to say that he wouldn't have expected anything else though since it did come from GTM. To me that meant alot and it showed me that I purchased the right kit for my car. So anyone considering to go with someone else, I recommend you give GTM a call before you make any decisions.
Well with out further A-do here is what you been waiting for.
