Set your expectations at about 110awkw just so you dont get disappointed if its not what you want. Remember that all dyno's will read differently from each other and also possibly different on any given day, as your car will run better some days than others. I had my car dyno'd at 157awkw on a ~35 degree day and I only have the standard S2/R34 SMIC so I'd argue that it would definitely get a better reading on a cold day. I can notice the difference after driving for say 20 minutes, ie. cooling issues. It always feels faster when its cold (ie. engine heated up to efficient running temperature but intercooler and intake temps still cold).

Tangles (and others), thanks for the compliments - I was just putting together most of the things I've picked up from this forum and my own (limited) experience with turbo nissans.

When my car was stock I got 13.5-14L/100km in town and 10.7L/100km on the highway. Now with significantly more power (had an exhaust manifold leak when I bought the car which gave it only 100awkw, compared to ~160awkw now), I'm getting 11.5-12L/100km in town and have seen 9L/100km on the highway (brisbane to goondiwindi, early morning). Thats a huge improvement in fuel economy AND performance which is a very nice achievement in my opinion. Mostly thanks to the exhaust for freeing up the engine and the bigger turbo for keeping it off boost in town.

I too have ~160awkw at 12psi, although as my sig states, at the top end of my dyno its actually only running 9psi (boost controller cant keep up) so if it had 12psi all the way through I could pick up maybe an extra 10awkw?

My wishlist for the car is a mile long and realistically none of it will probably happen. I have so many maintenance items now coming up that I need to pay for otherwise I wont be able to afford to even keep the car Things like new tires, brakes, possibly radius rod bushes, possibly front shocks and springs, and its due for an engine and transmission service...it all just creeps up on you. Its a lot of money that I would have happily spent on a FMIC and SITC (hello 180+awkw@14psi!!!) but we all know that part of owning a car is keeping up with all the boring stuff like servicing etc.

Hey Steve, did you make that ~160awkw with the standard S2 sidemount intercooler?

Isn't Boostworx dyno RWD only, anyway?
