i'm confused... you have been doing all this on the stock pump? i thought you were doing it on the upgraded one.. what's the point of doing it on a pump we already know can't do 100% E85 in just about any decent power situation?

will be interesting to see if the upgrade helps, you had me more worried that the upgraded pump +LPFP pressure still failed haha "

" it's a bit weird though... the tesla is more like competing with the 3er/c class in terms of interior quality

what a ridiculous comparison. "

it should perform similarly to how the VTX setup did? less (LOTS LESS) in the midrange where the pump struggles, but it's fine higher in the revs - the VTX had a small pressure drop in the midrange, but nowhere near as bad as the stock frames. "

single 4" SS exhaust with one vibrant flow thru resonator/muffler. and of course ... open dump from the wastegate.

it's pretty well known that jet's read higher than mustang/dynamics (any load dyno) WHEN they're set up properly? compared to an inertial dyno "

mmm fair enough

not sure there's even one within 200km of me actually haha

hopefully i can find one when the time comes

OR i'll make enough on a dynamics that it doesn't matter

ED: yeah there's only 2 registered dyno jet's in australia... New south wales and Western Australia... i'm in QUeensland... 577miles away~... never going to happen unless there's an unregistered one here haha "

" curious - how do they intercool a PD blower when as it's stated - air is 'sucked' in rather than pushed? "

we pretty much ONLY have dynodynamics here... but they consistently read a lot lower than the numbers you guys get on your dynojets (my N52 reads 15-20whp lower at least)- i'll have to try and source a dynojet in brisbane here one day lol "

*adds to job list*

and they do springs/retainers only for tons of cars/applications already, so this should be a pretty good bet.

just thought i'd try the easy options first if anyone knew
ED: it'd be a better idea to get fresh examples rather than worn though wouldn't it? *checks new parts* "
