I didn't think about pics when I dropped it off at the shop. I can get some tomorrow.

Forgive this post if I've missed a dyno sheet somewhere in the bowels of this thread, but does anyone have one they could toss on here? Much appreciated! Especially awesome if it has before/after graph...

It will look just like mine. It does fit perfect!

There were some but I think photobuckets lameness has made them all unviewable. I will have to get some up here soon.

The Google Chrome Photobucket plug-in is wonderful!

The link to my post about before/after: Turtle64b's Stillen Build Thread

I have another dyno day on December 9th to try again on the correct tune revision.

Thanks much for the link to your build page! Very helpful to compare against Seb's dyno on one of his blogs. You're touching 300tq at about 4.6k, while Seb's graph hits 300tq at 5.5k. Even though he puts out higher peak hp, your car has a better curve.

It would be interesting to compare the differences between the curves with an A2A setup that's putting out torque numbers in the 425 range or so.

TopgunZ · 11-08-2017, 08:19 PM

When mine was making only 485whp I had 300wtq By 3.5k. It's the red line. Blue is a buddies 370 with a turbo.

Not to change the current topic but I just read two more small pros for Air-to-Air over Water-to-Air.

- A2A system has less weight
- If the intercooler fails for whatever reason and leaks into engine...bye bye engine.

Albeit, these are small compared to the main reasons...
- Reliability and safety for the engine when frequently using boost.
- Reduces heat soak issues
- Improves performance
- Reduced system complexity
- Reduction of under hood components

Only pro for W2A that I see is for people only doing drag strip runs and they can have a cold car at the line and option to use ice.

Impressive! Thanks for posting it, Topz!

The top is all true statements. But ....I think you meant W2A in this last sentence in bold. Might want to edit that.

Oh sheet yes my mistake...i will edit. Tx!!!

Supercharger install is complete. Hopefully going to Seb early next week. Thanks goes out to Topgunz, Tbatt, CJM and Lspec (who did the install).
