Flashed the 4th file today from Tony.... we are gradually upping the boost as he is making minor changes.... each flash has shown improved drivability/smoothness over my previous Stage 2 flash, esp at low rpms. And I love the fact that Tony just emails me a file, I go out and plug in my laptop and it loads in 10 minutes, give or take. Makes me feel involved in the process a little. 
The thing really spools instantly off idle and is a ripper in 1st and 2nd. I am peaking/holding 1.0 bar for now. The 3rd and 4th gears WOT pull pretty strong too, but I imagine once we do 1.2-1.3 bar it will really continue to pull in those gears.
Very happy so far and I can appreciate Tony easing me into the higher boost and making small adjustments to the files, but I am such an impatient SOB it is very hard ti wait!

The Tial turbo's we have been using are not gt28's. K24/18gs will greatly out perform gt28s.
The Tial A28's we are using are significantly larger then both 18g's and gt28's.
I prefer the A28's in every aspect over k24/18g's.

Just uploaded flash #5 today and got a little driving time. Hits 1.0 to 1.2 bar depending on gear. Need to test it more this weekend and may try to do a 60-130. But honestly, I think this thing shines at lower speeds and would love to take on a 24/18g car from say 30-100 or 40-100.... but that's just a guess since I have never ridden/driven a 24/18g car. I've only experienced several GT28 cars.....
Hope to have some numbers soon guys.... and dyno #s too. Gotta have Tony happy with how the car is running and boosting first though. I imagine we will datalog here soon as well.
And yes 1.8 bar would be insane. Maybe later....

Paulie, Mike Bailey ran a 6.98 on his A28's while you were playing your banjo. That puts him just behind me, but just in front of YOUR 7.2.

I believe those are not the same alpha 28s as I have..... maybe Tialsport can confirm?

Don't worry Todd I will run a better time than yours when I have the same weather as you did when you ran a 6.9.The 7.2 was on pump.

Rep Power: 464 Alot of confusion of people calling all manner of hybrids "GT28s"
Like the old EVOMS GT700 turbo (which was a K24 hot side, not
water cooled, etc. etc)
