It's been done and it sounds amazing!

The car sounds like the gates of hell just opened. Legit its insane. I don't think I've gone past 50% throttle and 4psi (I get to drive this thing around and datalog while Cody's stuck at work) and it's already quick, and that's on pegged full rich fuel maps when in boost. Once the fuel maps get sorted and we start messing with vvt and vvel it will be an absolute blast.

Its all preference. Not like I'm using a single gt28.Lol

And yes I'm always down. Were going to sketch and CAD some stuff next week probably.

Any worries or thoughts on having too much wheelspin from this?

I honestly haven't found a good way to describe the sound until reading this.

And yes im stuck taking lame helpdesk calls while he's out wheelin about.

Eh not really. Just don't go full throttle all the time and it will help with that. Also Ecutek will have scaled traction control that will work wonders with the added power.

Update for you guys. Traction will be more of an issue then I thought. The only car I can compare this too, driving wise, is a C6 corvette ZR1. A ZR1 wants to bury you, that's it's goal in life, in second you gently roll the throttle and think "Oh I'll have some more" All of sudden you're 50-75% throttle, in boost and sideways. This Z is exactly like that. We've been working the tuning out and slowly getting more and more psi. Today I was on a straight road, squeeze the throttle gently, thought "Let's go a bit faster" all of a sudden I'm sideways at 6000RPM and counter steering. No idea what psi I hit, couldn't look at the gauges.

You will either be hooked or in a hospital

I did forget to tell him to turn TC off as it isn't scaled yet and it is extremely dangerous as I have heard from other boosted members...

But yeah. I took a half day today at work. so 12 CANNOT come fast enough.
