First Numbers For The Boostang!

If you're having issues man I would not be getting into any boost at all and I would even not want to drive it till it gets figured out, who knows what kind of damage you could be doing with it's issues. I would highly consider trailoring the car to SA/DFW to get a real shop with in house mustang tuners who know their stuff.

I really appreciate the concern TXred. I honestly isn't as bad as it sounds. I trust my builder 100%, he's built so many mod motors Mustangs that he could probably build one blind-folded. He is a walking-dictionary of Mustang knowledge. I didn't know much about the tuner, but I've been talking to him multiple times a day on the issues. He's tuned more Mustangs than he can remember, including some 9 and 10 second GT500's. The car really does run smooth as hell. There doesn't seem to be any misfires of any sort. He assures me that the graph is a direct result of a mechanical issue, not a tune issue. He told me that the AFR's are "perfect".

He's so confident that because of al this controversy on FB and all these forums, he has given me a 1 year warrantee on anything tune-related. I've driven the car, it runs smooth as stock and absolutely rockets on WOT without any symptoms. In-car wideband looks awesome too (11.1 max on WOT).

Going to the track tomorrow night. We'll see what it does.

id take it to a different shop as well for another opinion. The guy who tuned my mustang has tuned over 7000 mustangs in the past 20 years lol...some 8 sec street cars even in the Toronto area

Oh I am. I'm good friends with a group of turbo Fox's who call themselves the "Turbo Mafia". The slowest one of them runs lows 10's here in a 6500ft DA. They don't have a shop, do all the work themselves, and tune their own cars. We're all going to the track net Fri and they're going to datalog the car.

*UPDATE*

I pulled the 3.00 of and sent it to Carbinite to be coated. I stuck on a spare 3.25 and.....

HOLY ! Im seeing 15psi on the street. It's still slipping just a hair but the car feels like it's gained 100rwhp. It keeps pulling HARD until I run out of gear. My tuner also drove it post pulley swap and says its an easy 80rwhp+ gain from his experience.

Now here comes the problem. On one of our WOT test passes last night, a pre-IC pipe blew off. Apparently blowing off a pipe just after the blower completely wrecks . It completely took out the coolant reservoir. Broke both upper supports and bent the hell out of the support. It also destroyed my drivers-side fog light. Completely redoing the hot side tubing with 2 3.25" pipes and 3 couplers. Going to roll a HUGE lip on each of the ends of the tubing and run a quad T-bolt on each coupler. We're guessing that the current IC is just way to restrictive and building insane pressure pre-IC
