I started backwards on this build. I installed the RR Racing Stage 3 S/C kit with the stock exhaust intact. I'm big on being "minimal" and leaving as many OEM parts intact as needed. Many years of building race cars and tossing everything from A/C, Power steering, to hacking out sections of cars led to this.

I'll spare the details of everything and just get into the videos of the different setups. If anyone has questions about anything involving the installation or kit as a whole feel free to ask.

Currently I'm sending datalogs to RR Racing so they can nail down the tune. Next step after that will be dynoing with no rear section and again with the rear section installed to measure power loss and differences in the torque and power curve. I feel like after all is said and done I will keep the stock rear section installed and also put in an electronic cut out to have the best of both worlds. I'm absolutely keeping the stock mid section with secondary cats and resonator. The power level on the street is excellent as-is.

How was your compression test when you did it? Looks like it runs pretty dam hard! Nice!

Definitely a healthy engine. Wonder if you dyno how much of a difference going from the stock exhaust to an aftermarket one.

Based on all of RR Racing's dyno sessions we know the kit should make about 650whp on the current setup and tune, with a full exhaust.

I haven't been able to find any numbers with the PPE headers along with the stock mid section and/or rear section. It will be interesting to see!

My car came with headers but stock exhaust and I miss it occasionally. I though about going back to stock cat back with either a custom y pipe or a borla y pipe.

Car sounds awesome! We're looking forward to getting everything dialed in for you.

Awesome videos . I have had my supercharged kit on my 2011 isf for over a year now . I would’ve had more videos up too but forgot my YouTube sign in password and can’t recover it because the email that recovers the password I don’t use and don’t know the password to that lmao

Finally got a good video of the QTP cutout valve I installed. I think this is the best of both worlds. Nearly quiet stock cruising with stock rear sections or open it up and give her hell.

Been thinking about doing something similar, where did you install the QTP cutouts? before the y pipe?

SUB'd for future updates.

So you went to stage 3 SC kit in the first install?

Cool videos! I have to ask though, your most recent ones show you taking out and replacing the timing chain tensioner etc. seems like a huge job and I haven’t seen this happen before. Why the big task? It was brought up in a local group of mine.

Very nice. You can also get a boost actuated cut out that only opens under a certain psi of boost. They use a waste gate actuator to open them. You can control it further with a hobbs switch or solenoid if needed.

Oh wow, I'd seen your videos and was wondering if you were on this forum, awesome to find you here and see detailed pics of the valve, thank you for documenting everything!
