Invidia's o2 housing was proven to make less power in one of BR's old dynos.

The Tune was not the cause of the motor going. Having the wrong spark plugs and the owner installing the BOV backwards along with couple other reasons were the cause of the motor going.

E-Flashs are just as good as a dyno tune as long as the car is ready to be tuned. This means oil change, newish spark plugs, boost leak test etc etc. If the car is running well then tuning will be no problem what so ever. This car had problems beyond a tune. This car was road tuned by the way.

This build is limited by the cams. The mods that you plan on adding really arent going to add much more power, though some of them will add a degree of reliability.

The HKS272s are just small by todays standards thats just how it is. S2's, M2's, JUN 272, etc. are where its at. That boost level should make another 20whp on a dynojet assuming you dont have any additional taper. 355whp on a MD isnt shabby at all.

Below you will find my input marked with (**), remember you asked for the input

- DC Sports 3" Downpipe
- Megan 02 Housing
- HKS 272/272 Cams

**BF272's are the best cam you can get for the money. There are other that also make good power but nothing with as good an over all curve and nothing for the price.

- HKS Cam Gears
- HKS EVC 5
- Stock Ported Exhaust Manifold
- Walboro 255 Fuel Pump
- Forged BOV (recirculated)
- ETS IC Piping
- ETS 3.5" Intercooler

**Upgrade the FMIC to a race core, preferably ours of course.

- Stock Intake Rubber Pipe w/ ebay intake filter
- Ported 65mm Throttle Body
- RC 880cc Injectors
Tuned @ AWD Motorsports made 355whp/341tq @ 26 psi
since then i have upgraded to:
-Buschur MBC
-ETS Intake Pipe w/ K&N Filter
Mods Soon to come before next tune:
-EPM 02 dump
-Forge Wastegate
-BR Billet Exhaust
-ARP Headstuds
So my question is
What sort of power, should i expect to make?
What else would i be missing from being considered a full, full bolton?? W/O CHANGING TURBO!

**You've got just about everything you can bolt on to the car.

I do later on plan on going with BR Stage 3 head, BR 2.3L block, BR 37R and some more rubbish but until then i want to make my stock turbo setup the most that it can be without, E85 or Meth or any of those things just str8 93 oct
**When you do that I highly advise you get the AEM EMS, you will also need an ignition upgrade like our COP, our double pumper fuel system and 1200 cc injectors.

Hope this helped.

Reading this thread is like reading a mirror image of what I have now. I too was wondering what to do next minus bottom end. My question is for Buschur in reference to the BF272's: would it be wise to install these cams without upgrading the head?? Again, I am on the hunt for the same, so very interested as well.. thanks and GL....
