Ok well this was my first dyno ever, so I'm very pleased with the results....
Mods include:
- Freshly rebuilt stock motor/head, stock internals, new bearrings and oil pump witt HKS 1.2mm MHG, APR U/C Studs
- Turbo Concepts 61mm Turbo T3 footprint on stock manifold (modified flange adapter with external wastegate port)
- K&N Intake fed through custom 4" intake pipe to turbo, 3" full exhaust, custom downpipe, full 3" with boost-activated cut out just after downpipe to alleviate back pressure.
- Greddy RS BOV, Tial 40mm Wastegate w/1bar spring
- Big 24x4x12" intercooler with full custom 2.5" AL hardpipes
- Wallbro 255 with RC 550 injectors
- MAFTPRO with speed density and boost controller, AEM wideband.

First few runs were interesting.... My turbo wanted to keep making lots of power, the spring in my wastegate is too stiff, so with the boost controller setup it spiked to 26psi running super super rich! That came in 491RWHP/472RWTQ.
We disabled the boost controller feature for now in the MAFTPRO (hence the delayed full spool shown on the graph) but we got it to dyno properly at a peak 411RWHP and 390RWTQ, which I am very happy with
The tranny seems to be holding up, doesn't slip much, but I don't plan on pushing it much yet until I can get a nice built unit. The A/F's bounce around a bit as I drive which is a little concerning to me (cruising on highway can be anywhere between 12.0-16.0) and I hit fuel cut sometimes at full boost around 15psi or so. Anyhow once I get the proper spring for my wastegate and we re-enable the boost-controller feature and retune it I hope to get those problems solved. The dyno they used was the kind where they physically bolt it onto the hubs of your axle, it's supposed to the most accurate dyno out there I guess.
Big shout out to Garage Works in Lancaster, CA (they're the garage that installed everything, they're very professional and did a fantastic job working on my car. Also Mattan at AWD Permformance/Tuning also in Lancaster who helped tune it and got it dyno'd. I'm very pleased with the results so far
