I'm changing up my set up. Gonna add an egt and a 30psi boost gauge and dump the 20psi.

Went and found some quick stats on the beast.
617hp/575ft-lbs
dry weight 3748lbs
power-weight:6.08lbs per horsie
0-60: 3.8 seconds
1/4: 11.6@127mph - m/t
top speed:207.5mph
deceleration up to 1.3g's
Now remember that it isn't just a super car. It is a luxury coupe, with a supercharged V8...
Definatly get that on video. :cool:
If your car is in the 12's trapping at 110mph I think that your going to be in deep poo. The CL65's are in teh low 12's/high 11's and the SLR will whoop on the 65. Twin turbo V12 Benz's from a roll are very deadly.

A nice setup for some BOV's is the 'dual vent'. What this does is allow air to be recirced back into the intake 100% like a recirc valve under low to moderate pressure. When the pressure is strong enough to open the valve fully it sends the first ammount of air back into the intake and the...
That definatly looks like a blow off valve. Prevents compressor surge, thats about it. Oh and it makes a nice pssht sound when you let off at WOT. :biggrin:

The 341awhp was on an a awd dyno at Turbo XS. I found a massive boost leak by the BOV about a week later and fixed it. The car boosted 3psi more, so I am guestimating that it proably jumped to over 350awhp w/o the leak. Right now I am looking at a 420awhp STi on 91 and 513awhp on C16.
At the...
Considering that this thread is over two years old. The SLR wasn't even out. The CL65 is $185,000 and slower than the CL55 under 100mph. Traction becomes too much of a factor with 723ft/lbs.
