Got a nice email from the new owner of my wagon with what he has been up to with my old car now that he's had it for a few months.
He swapped out the Tein suspension in favor of the stock junk :rolleyes: Don't get that one.
But here is where it gets fun. For shits N grins he dyno'd my tune in the car as it sat. Basic bolt on 2.0L car: catless, downpipe, uppipe, stock boost control solenoid, Samco intercooler plumbing, stock pump, stock injectors, ported turbo and wastegate area, Cobb ECU, 93 pump in the tank. 217whp and 229 lb ft torque....not bad at all....this was how I drove the car daily. For reference, stock as a rock cars put down 170whp and 160 torque on this dyno he said.
With an OpenECU tune and about 10 pulls the best number they massaged it to was 221whp and 258 torque. Forgot to mention he installed a GM BCS also. That torque is insane. :headbang Picked up almost 40 lb ft. I would suspect from the better control of the boost more than anything.
Glad to see the new owner is having fun with the car. Just wanted to post this as I thought it was damn impressive for a car with 96k-ish on the ticker to date.
