    Good progress today as I put all the hot pipe to turbo and clean tuck most hose and wires. Need to buy some spacers as the turbo bolt is too long.

    No dyno tomorrow, it will be friday 8th. And I just found out that this kit with upr -member = no sway bar. Sway bar does not fit. :(

    Anyone thinking about this turbo kit think twice as upr kmember fits bad and no sway bar.

    Dyno went bad. Before turbo I was at 297rwhp and with turbo it only pull 5.5 psi and made 347rwhp and 365torque. Best they got is 367 out of 5.5 psi.
    My tuner told me that my cams are hurting me as it's comp cam 270xe cam , my svt fuel pump at 95 % so pump is not enough. I have seen people make more then 400rwhp with svt focus pump but no luck here.

    Another thing my tuner suggest is to change to Lighting mar with mafia. He said Pmas is **** :(

    I was thinking to make well over 400rwhp with only 6psi but fu++ didn't happen. I will need to get cobra twin pump and up the boost to 8-10 psi.

    I am sad , very sad but I did some pull on the way home and it scared me, cannot wait to see high boost.. Video comming soon....

    Vegas was at 97* temperature

    Yayyyyyyyyy I did it. With drag radial out back and big 18X9 wheels up front I was able to hit 12 sec in 3rd pass. My suspension being all new my car is hole new car I need to learn about. When suspension change feels like I don't know this car :)

    1st run
    13.127 @ 108.92mph with bad 2.067 60'
    2nd run
    13.297 @ 108.87mph with worse 2.152 60'
    3rd run
    12.872 @ 109.96 mph with still bad 1.941 60'

    With my new suspension I should be able to cut 1.6 to 1.7 60' so I just need more time at the track with my car and learn more about my suspension. With only at 5.5 psi of boost my car went 12.8 , I am sure more I get used to it I should be hitting 12.5 in no time.

    Once I turn up the boost should be in low 12 to high 11 sec

    I am ****ing happy , it's been a long long road to get here but finally I am here . :)
