So I finished the swap and headed to the dyno today. I still need to fix a few issues and work on the tune a little but I got some comparison numbers. I have attached the dyno sheets for comparison. The STS kept up better than I thought but look at the power under the curve with the faster spool time.

Low boost off the wastegate spring
STS - 7.75psi
Trick - 6.75psi

STS - 405/419
Trick - 400/430

More boost

STS - 12psi
Trick - 12psi

STS - 544/571
Trick - 559/622

Final pull

STS - couldn't load past 12psi on the dyno
Trick - 14.5psi spike and settles to 13.5psi

Trick - 610/660

I need to figure out why the boost is dropping 1-1.5psi after it spikes but I'm pretty happy so far. The uncorrected numbers today were 627/677 so it feels very good on the street. Also the last pull was run #104 on this stock Lq4 and it keeps on taking a beating. I might switch to 3bar and see what it will take.

 

awesome numbers man!

I want to see this at the track.

Is your 80e installed?

 

Whens the first track outing?

 

I haven't put the 80 in yet. Hopefully that will happen soon. I've been working on my car so the truck was getting neglected.

 

Not sure. I have to get the 80e in and my turbo might need to be rebuilt. It has been smoking since I moved it up front so either I pushed out a seal or something isn't right with the drain. Maybe by the end of May.

 

Same tune on both? How much timing were you running on each setup?

 

Same AF ratio and timing. I normally run 19 degrees of timing. I tried 21 degrees on the dyno but it only picked up 1 hp so I dropped it back down.

 

Do you like the way it drives, should be peppier.

 

It is much more snappy in and out of boost. Boost comes on quick.

 

I wish it would have been with the exact same turbo. Would have been interesting.
