I have a progressive map-based meth setup, but it won't be filled for a couple more days (weekend!)

Then it's time to advance timing, and up the boost significantly.

Cool. Im thinking of running this setup in lue of an intercooler. For my little max it might overkill to have the intercooler so I was looking into alternatives. HLH is your car the one that dyno'ed at 400+hp and 500+tq?

Yes on my old turbo. You could probably get away with that, how much boost are you going to be running - and what is supplying the boost?

If you do decide on using alc or meth in place of an intercooler, I highly suggest a map-based setup regardless of the increased cost.

Im only trying to run maybe 7psi. The turbo is gonna have an internal wastegate. Probably a T3. I need it to fully spool up around 4000rpm. I want a T3/T4 or a TO4 but I don't think it will work to well for the VG30E.

he still does after switching to turbo.


Mardigras is running it too and he has a recipe of building your own boost referenced water/alcohol injection for ~300 dollars.
