so around 2 in the morning, a buddy wanted me to make a lil acceleration video, and I had a go pro with me. didnt really wanna go too fast on the street, espacially without a radar haha, but heres a little clip. Wasnt really trying to do a crazy launch, or shift like crazy or anything, was just a relaxed fullthrottle drive.
car feels so freaking good right now haha.
Also took another pic of the engine bay:

My boost kicks in instantly. For example if I'm at 1.5k in 2nd, I floor it, by the time I'm @ 2k I'm in boost. If you want I can take a video, or you can look at my other video. I really doubt my car would accelerate so quick if I didnt make 2xxhp
I'm pretty sure this is because of the AVO manifold. There will be another dyno in the future, I'll make sure to do a proper print, and I'll post it up.
I'm pretty sure there is a dyno thread here where a guy made 242whp on 9.5ish PSI with a AVO manifold, and a 2554.

Except the dyno shows full boost closer to 3500

Not a chance in hell. I'm not doubting that your car is fast or even very fun, but those numbers DO NOT happen with a badly designed cast manifold a 2554, actually those numbers don't happen at all with a 2554 strapped to a miata. 240whp is past the turbo's maximum power output, lol.

I can post more if you want.
look at this video 0-60 is 4.xx without a hard launch or hard shifting. I doubt that will happen with out 2xxhp.
According to Garretts website maximum output is 270, but what do they know.
To my knowledge, and all the threads that I have read so far, the AVO manifold, is one of the best flowing quick spool setups you can get, but then again you probaly know a lot more.
Sorry to offend you dude. Like I said, I'll post up another graph when I get the car redynoed, and we'll see what happens.
its in boost, anyways I'll get a new graph like I said. No point wasting time arguing about the same thing.
Anyways, I got this cool wideband today, TOUCHSCREEN!!! lol, might be useless, but still cool as **** haha

Gold tape is a barrier to radiative heat transfer (i.e., the kind of heat a glowing turbo gives off). It is not much of a barrier to conductive heat transfer (the kind of heat transfer used by an intercooler or radiator). So, the gold tape looks goofy, but doesn't actually impede heat transfer much. The gold tape on the end tanks serves no function other than aesthetics (for good or bad).
