Your TQ/HP loos would be HUGE

The amount of time it would take to climb up to 5000 rpm would be HUGE as well.

I think I understand your thoughts on it, but it won't work.

BTW how is everything?

VI is installed, and umm... I locked the valves open all the time..

it definately loses power down low like you all said, but all i have to say is HOLY CRAP once it hits 5000 , it is UNBELIEVABLE. now I guess I need rpm switch and what else? we'll see... its still fast getting there, just not as fast, but i will post video later of 5000 -> redline, its CRAZY

love the vi !

Boost + VI = fun, no?




I'm sooooo happy to see more boosted VI's out there....MardisGras and I were getting lonely. (I know, you're a turbo, I'm SC'ed, but same effect)

5000RPM has been my best hit on 28 Dyno runs on the 3.25" Pulley, but results may vary for a Turbo.
