If other vendors are interested we can make this happen at an idenpendent dyno facility anywhere in the country.
I'll take you up on this offer. I have a fully built car with an AEM .

Avoid Turbotrix. I bought a 50 trim kit from them and the turbo it came with was garbage. It turns out that it was a non ball bearing turbo even though I was told it was a dual ball bearing turbo. Also, the turbo was a horrible miss match of parts and I was told by a very reputable tuner and turbo manufacturers that the turbo I had bought is more in line with a turbo that you would find on a diesel engine, they couldn't believe it came off an Evo.

As for numbers:

380whp/382tq with a 2.3

I am currently at 409whp/310wtq on a 93 Octane tune (no meth) running an AMS 50 trim kit with lots of supporting mods. For details, look here and scroll down.

My car is being converted to run on an AEM EMS as we speak. This is being done mostly for driveability reasons, but I am hoping that this will up the pump gas numbers a bit (especially the wtq). I will also do a couple of dyno pulls on VP109. Should have results by the end of the week.

its more bang for the buck, esp for a stock engine, 50 trims though can def produce more power, esp if you run pump/meth, ive seen around 500

50 trim doesnt respond well to meth or esp race gas compared to other high end turbos like say a 30 or 35r....you've seen 500? where? 500whp with a 50 trim must be highly modded....you live in jersey wherve you seen that so i can take a look myself???
