There are a few following the build on my ITS so I wanted to add it here.
I guess I also need to add in here that I am still on lock ECU with stock tune.
I have installed the (cerakoted) TSP catted downpipe, PRL frontpipe, PRL rear motor mount, PTP turbo blanket and PTP lava blanket for the downpipe.
New delta from previous dyno I did with PRL Intercooler, PRL titanium inlet and the HPS charge pipes was a net gain of 39hp and 44ft lbs torque.
Thats up 58hp and 58ft lbs torque from the stock dyno I did, and I am now netting 333hp at the wheel which after drivetrain loss conversion of about 10% is roughly 370HP at the crank! Travis was having some issues pulling up the previous dyno runs for the overlay so just got this printout instead.
Keep in mind that if I added the downpipe and frontpipe without already having done intake side parts I dont think the gains would be as strong by themselves. but that is just my opinion.
I would have to say to power increase it ridiculously noticeable and now so is the torque steer with a whopping 365ft lbs.
I also have to say between the turbo blanket and the downpipe the turbo lag has been considerably reduced which was a HUGE issue I had with the car previously. I like the almost instant response.
I can also say (my reaction is in the video) that I noticed immediately how much I could feel the engine with the PRL rear motor installed when I cranked the car.
I have since driven about 150 miles and it seems the bushing are broken in a little bit and it does not feel so raw cranking the engine now but the annoying buzzing sound from passenger side is definitely louder with increased vibration.
I did make some mistakes on the install because last I checked I am still human.
However, below is the full install, dyno and recap with a few easter egg pulls hidden in the vid.
I also wanted to show people all these mods can be done by yourself without a shop or a lift.
AHC videos make this stuff look real easy and it is 100% doable by the weekend mechanic like myself.
