Induction parts + ECU reflash dyno results

I totally agree on turbos being a better solution. I talked to Altered Atmosphere about doing TT but I'm in Cali and smog laws are strict. If you don't pass visual inspection and tail pipe emissions, your car will be off the road. AA said it would cost $3k to convert the car back to stock when it came time for emissions testing. Total cost for turbo's, shipping and reconversion to stock would be $15,000 that I would eat in depreciation. At that price point, I might as well get a used Corvette z06.

My endpoint with this car is to get a centrifugal supercharger for it but no one has them for sale yet. The other mods like headers and cats will tie in nicely with the supercharger when they come out.


PS. it was 41 hp gain at wheels... which would be nearly 50 at the engine.

Here in Cali, if you have a new car, instead of an annual smog check, we have the smog abatement fee. The only problem you would probably have is if you got pulled over and you had to pop your hood for the cop, and once he sees your turbo/SC set up, he may send you to a referee even though you don't have to do smog check for the next 6 years.

Police in CA only make you open your hood if you're a ghetto, sideways-hat wearing wannabe punk driving a tastelessly modified car and/or street-racing. Well...at least in the Bay Area.
