So low boost is over 400hp how much TQ ? This is about what I want long term reliable power same power as a FQ 400 . These numbers are all from stock components ? no upgraded clutch? or engine? Thanks

Ask away I say. I'll answer what I can...

I was getting 348.62tq and 403.42hp at 5 psi. No upgrades, its 7AT. You can buy the boost controller which has a 5psi setting and a 8-9psi setting (of course you could also get under the car and adjust it yourself on the high boost setting but not suggested).

They also sell a much cheaper base system. Look on there web site under universal kits.

With the STS boost controller and a little common sense it can be DD at any psi.

It's all about how you drive. I can't say I didn't floor the hell out it for the first two weeks but after the new wore off (only a little bit) I started looking at how much fuel I was going through and the wear and tear on the car. That right there helped me stop boosting the hell out of my car everywhere I went.

I remember reading earlier in your post about a "hot start issue"... What exactly does that mean? get that fixed? what was causing it?

tower74 · 01-31-2012, 05:46 PM

It's a tuning issue...nothing more than that. The car has problems starting when it's hot or warm but again at the same time it isn't every single time. Nothing that can't be fixed on a dyno.

Well, that's one explaination. The other is that the womenz get all hot when you start it up and it can become an issue with your significant other. I'm going with that one.

That would be an easy fix....on top of that it's a race so if your not first your last.

I hoping the issue will be solved shortly....it's really not a huge issue, the AFR is running rich and once that's adjusted, problem solved.

not every time? wanna throw out a percentage of how often this happens?

Like I said it's not a major issue...it's not the tune from STS was bad, it was the guys who did the tune. He wanted to run it rich at first but he hasn't really wanted to mess with my car anymore. As far as how often it's about 30% of the time and it's usually when it warm outside.

It's also because this was the very first STS 7AT done, so it was a guessing game on the shop that had done the install. Let me post a video but of the STS system in the 7AT.

its an issue with his tune not the turbo kit, don't be worried about it. Your tuner will be able to diagnose the issue if it happens after you get the kit.

See edub370's post....it a couple of pages back. That explains it the best.
