Default Initial post:: 334 whp achieved!

I finally got to dyno my car on Thursday, with the new setup, and having achieved some milestones with tuning.

Stats: built 2.0l block, Je pistons, carillo rods, 2.0l forged crank.

p&p head, intake & exhaust mani's.

T3/T4E twin ceramic ball bearing tubo (.48-.50 trim?)Full 3" exhaust, ceramic coated manifold, turbo hotside, and dp.

Wastegate redesigned to work directly off the turbo, rather than off the manifold.

Adjustable fpr, wahlbro fuel pump(255lph), #42 injectors, apexi safc, wideband os monitor, and 100 octane pump gas, running on 3+ year old ATP software.

Ambient temp was about 81 F.

Oh, and I was pushing 2 bar, or roughly 28 psi of boost. EGT's peaked at about 1020 C during the dyno session, which was very acceptable.

I'll scan & post the dyno graph next week, or if you really want to see it, I'll have both the car & the graph at H20i this weekend. Car still for sale.

Default I'm curious as to what made you pick the ceramic BB T3/T4 over the GT series

I've heard some good things about those ceramic BB turbos but also good things about the BB GT series.

Default 'Cause I had bought it about 2-3 years ago, and it was easier to get.

I've thought about upgrading, changing the turbo, manifold, etc, but as you'll see when I post the dyno, this turbo does the job just fine. IIRC, the price of the turbo in my car was around $1200 when I bought it, and can be had today for around $650 new.
