<03-13-08>

On Day 4, I stopped by the shop and they've already mounted intercooler, turbo, and most of the pipes.

they were still working on charge pipe from intercooler back to the intake manifold, but it should be done soon.

now all they need to do is replacing Cat to High Flow, replacing axle for broken CB boots (?), and then... Tune it!

getting closer to be done!!

<03-19-08>

Finally my car is back from the shop.
I still need some exhaust work done, but the turbo is in, and got some dyno result

The best run I got was 206HP with 204 tq. (First run)
203 HP with 207 tq the last run (from my memory, so ignore the decimals.)

for more detail, please take a look at the page 3.
(and I will post some vid and dyno sheet tomorrow.. hopefully)

<03-20-08>

Video of dyno is up.
my scanner is not really working and haven't put the dyno sheet up yet...

Dyno sheet is up.
one before the turbo (CAI, Header, PSC1 a/f controller) and
after the turbo (Final Run)

Final (?) Update! 5/29/08
Quite a bit updates since last update.

1. Moroso Breather Tank Installed
Please visit this thread for more info

2. Exhaust Upgrade
I had 2.5" Catback, and was going to change the midpipe and Catalytic Converter to High Flow Cat, but just because the shop did not have the 2.5" in stock, I went with 3" downpipe back.
For now, I have Magnaflow High Flow Cat and Straight Thru Muffler.
because of drone, I probably will add some resonator soon.


3. Unichip Tuner
Finally i took may car to the unichip tuner.
they found the stalling issue was a little bit of tuning issue but more of the BOV spring.
the BOV spring is too hard for the Solara's vacuum to open it up.
set the BOV to the softest, and still barely opens.
shop is looking for a softer spring to replace it.

they also tuned the unichip to get a better a/f ratio.
now it's right around 11.5~11.7 at most rpm under boost.

I know I know... you are waiting for the final number....
at the tuner's dyno, i got 228 HP at the wheels.
Since it is at the different shop's dyno, I the number is not very accurate to compare with the previous number.

I will bring my car to the original shop when i do the resonator, and will do the dyno again.

That's why it's in Aftermarket Section!! :drinking:

it's turbonetics T3/T04 Turbo.
basically Scion tc turbo with custom piping.

thought about manual swap at the same time, but price wise, it does not worth it.
(well.. anything we do to our car, it does not worth it, if you think about the value of our car.......)

well.. there would be nothing new until this weekend or maybe next week, depending on the weather in midwest...
