1.6 bar in 3rd gear
After installing stage 4GT with a 100 octane program, the car is officially nuts. I was driving the car pretty hard last night in 68 degree weather and hit 1.6 bar in 3rd gear. Anyone who is considering this kit should do it. Also, if anyone wants to go for a ride, you're more than welcome to come down and take one. It's scary.

Todd from EVO will have my car in his booth at German Auto Fest. The car is not finished yet, I'm still waiting on different wheels and a few other things. Todd made this special 100 octane program for us. He can explain it all at German Auto Fest.

Is it safe to run 1.6 bar? You obviously have modified turbos correct?

Yes, the turbos are different. How long will it last, don't know? I'm just going to put a ton of miles on the car and beat it up and see what happens. It is still a daily driver.

Hey, what's up Matt, wasn't sure it was you. Any word on that order? Thanks.

hey mat sounds like me.. except that are you sure it's actually 1.6 bar and not just hitting the 1.3bar limit and shutting the throttle body down and running in safe .5mode? That was happening to me.. Unless you already have a way around that.. with the modified MAF etc..?

Oh Man
Matt
You're making me crazy. Here I am somehow trying to break in my car below 4,200 rpm and I plan on doing the Stage 4GT next winter, and you have to go ahead and rub my nose in it.
You bastard!
I can't wait till I'm a bastard too!

The titanium exhaust sounded like crap, so we sent it back to Japan to be rebaffled. We should have another one back here in a couple of weeks. It was only about 5 db's louder than stock.

Thanx for your reply and sorry for diverting the conversation. Congrats on your stage4GT. A frined of mine sent his engine to EVO to make it into a stage 4GT instead of a regular stage 4. can't wait to see how fast his car will be. Too bad I got a TIP LOL
