Here is Jondabrit's bugeye running our built shortblock, CNC heads, Blouch 18G turbo, DW1300cc injectors, APS 65mm CAI, Perrin TMIC, Catless DP, Whisper CB. Tuned at 18psi peak on 91 Octane:
The car feels very responsive and smooth on the road with great low end drivability. I can't wait to see what it'll do on some E85
Thanks

Here is an 08 STI we tuned last week with a Catted TBE, Perrin EL Headers, Walbro Fuel Pump and Hallman MBC:
This car made great torque at only 18.5psi because of the headers, but the peak hp could be a bit higher with an aftermarket intake.
Thanks

Ed can you PM me the dyno chart, my gf lost it. I forgot what I am making peak tq at again.
And buy my car and make it the shop race car
I've only driven it like 3 times since our tune to charge the battery (after priming it each time) but it feels good!

And here is a really interesting car we tuned late last week... This is a fully purpose built Auto-X BEAST! This is an 05 STI with a build shortblock, upgraded valve springs (stock cams), Blouch 18G XT Turbo with restrictor, EL Headers, Catless TBE, TMIC, DW1300cc injectors, custom ram air intake, custom fuel system, running on E85:
A couple things to note here. This car was set up and tuned for huge mid range torque, but the customer wanted to extend the rev range out to 8000RPM in order to stay in gear longer at Auto-X events. Obviously with the stock cams and the smallish turbo, power drops off a lot up top, but it does maintain enough power out to 8k RPM to keep his speed up and saves pressure seconds by not having to shift into the next gear.
Here are a couple pics:

And 08 WRX was towed in due to overheating and a subsequent no start. We did a compression/leakdown test and the results were awful all around. We took off the timing cover which exposed the problem:
It seems that one of the idlers fails, shredded the belt, and caused the motor to jump timing. This is a very freak occurrence as the car only had 60k miles on it and this is all original equipment. The engine is already out and broken down, going to the machine shop tomorrow. The customer is taking the chance to build up the shortblock as well.
