My mechanic laughed at the turbo when viewing the boost on his laptop via flashpro. I wasn't even a 1/4 throttle and it was about 8-10psi... We need a bigger turbo RDX family!! Maybe someone can get a group buy together for a turbo manufacturer to build one for our car?!?!

1) isn't this how a variable flow turbo supposed to work?
2) who from manufacturers will possibly get involved in a custom turbo development with a possible market of max 50-70 enthusiasts?!
3) even if we get a bigger turbo, how do we fool the variable flow valve actuator? This thing is controlled by the ECU.

I like the instant boost I wish it would carry further through the rpm range that's my only complaint which is why I'm getting blouch performance turbo to put a bigger wheel on the compressor side of my factory setup. they led me to believe with the supporting fuel and exhaust mods it would be good for between 35-55 horses... the only thing im missing is cams and a fuel pump ( I was told nothing would fit when I was buying my list )

How much power do you expect to make?

Guys, this is not insane. These are incorrect numbers due to bigger injectors. The ECU calculates avg fuel cons based on the stock injectors bandwidth.
If you check it manually you'll still get same old 20-22-23 mpgs.

hmmm.. well then if thats the case.. i am curious on if the tank was filled prior cause if i do 167 miles with a 50/50 hwy/street driving i would be at or below a half a tank..

All true. He should, theoretically, make more power. His torque should be through the roof at launch. There are plenty of high 13s chevy trucks and suvs with around 300 HP. This won't be easy to do, but a reasonable goal I think. I'm interested to see how it plays out.

I had a full tank before leaving Oklahoma City and that was the end result. I'm sure it will be another story after it's tuned.

im sure you are pretty lean.. you still havent gunned it yet i am guessing till you get your tune..
your next fill up you should do the actual calculation just to see how close the mpg matches.. im sure its closer to 30.. specially if you did a 150 miles in a quarter of a tank

I get about 340 out of a tank if I stay out of it but its so hard to keep out of boost when it just screams. I think im going to get a take home car from work so I can get the turbo done. see what ill get out of that. what P# is the in tank pump and was that a pita to install?

I've had mine still read over 3/4 after 150+ miles...gauge goes down slower at first. My first 1/4 might be 150 but my last 1/4 could be under 100. If I recall right on that tank I got a hair over 400 miles before filling up, between 24 and 25 mpg. Keep in mind I'm FWD...even if it's not the indicated 30+, if you can average 25 on a full tank with AWD it's still quite an accomplishment.

Give me till tomorrow for updates on the pump, the DW200 looks a bit taller then OEM. Our pump looks more like the DW65c. I'll post as soon as I get back from there.
