What were the dyno numbers for this kit?

Very curious to see after watching your videos pulling away on the GS350 and F.

Did the F even know he was in a race?

I'd rather see some vids from a dig or on a track. Racing in populated urban areas with traffic isn't exactly a testament to what this supercharger has done for the GS. Sick build either way, but honestly I would prefer some time sheets (which I'm not expecting will happen) or some dynos to at least get us in the ball park.

!st dyno run was stock except JoeZ full exhaust and Intake was 271hp and 251tq. Sadly enough we never dyno'd the car with the supercharger & headers while
the car was running good. In the end the car started running sub par, so I finally had it dyno'd with everything and found the computer was shutting down. Almost
in limp mode. So I decided to remove everything.

While running good I believe the hp to be around 325hp to the wheels...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my car is faster than an ISF or M3. I'm just showing the car ran pretty good against it's own and others with the super charger added.
In fact It's gotten spanked a few times too.

Does this mean tuning method didn't work right with the direct injection and that forced induction hardware was removed?

Thank you. Your build is seriously a fav of mine. Just wish we had more times/numbers to put with the mods.

Terry,
There basically is no tuning. Our computers are just to smart, even with the map. I always
had a check engine light on, and the car bogged on acceleration in the morning. Apexi
had tried on several occasions to remedy this with no luck. In the end, it seemed I was
loosing power. All was removed...

Me too. I was all for upping the boost and continuing to test, but Apexi said there was no way
they would up the boost. So, really there was no where to go

Just curious ... what triggered the CEL? And what was the WG set to dump at? I assume it was cautiously set low?

Pretty gutsy to allow the factory ECU to manage things.

The cel has been there since they installed the SC. It was 2 AF pumping circuit codes. No WG, had a
bov

Really don't know what caused the power loss. Never actually went into limp mode

I'm not sure right now. Going to make a decision by years end. Big possibility, I will get the GSF..

I believe they were $850. Give Paul @ PPE Engineering a shout for purchasing questions.
