Well guys i installed some new parts (vertical flow intercooler, evo TT exhaust, FIC 650's) and i went and got a retune and got a lot more than i thought! See when i changed the intercooler i found some more boost, about 2 more psi, and it was exactly 2 to be exact. i was making 9.8 before, this time i made 11.8 and it shows in the retune!

Couldnt be any happier right now, there is one thing i need to change about the setup and thats my IAT placement, with the hood closed the IAT's shot WAY up because of where the sensor is, so i got an obd1 iat weld in bung and im going to weld it in to the charge pipe at the throttle body. But other than that she pulls real hard :mbiggrin:

Haha and Dre we definately will have to! And thanks guys I'm loving the setup now it's pretty great, have a couple little quirks to work out but so far it's awesome. And I didn't post it on here but I raced a revhard turbo Ep3 (a3) on 10 psi before this tune, and even with him brake boosting and me not, I still walked him good. Probably by like 4 cars I not more, and that was at 300

Makin me rethink my IC setup : (

I know i have higher comp/free flowing head/different cams than you do... but that simple swap made that much of a difference for you... imagine if you had gone backwards to a much smaller IC like i plan to use. : X

Dammit. No one around here does mandrel pipe work and i dont have a welder yet (im concerned about gettin charge piping done if i use a full sized IC).
