I have a 08 Redline, and am located relativley close in Northern NJ, what would be cost / time involved to have it installed up there? There are no quality performance shops in the area that work on domestics and I live in a high-rise condo so a self install reallly isn't feasible for me.
The turboswap will take about 3-4hours after the car has cooled. (hotturbo-hotpotatoe!)
Then you can drive home as is.
I'm pretty sure Lyndon wants to have your PCM in his hands directly to install the code, although he was selling an HPT flashable version. Im not sure what his stand on it is, I'll ask.
Otherwise I can flash the proper MAf transfer in to make it run correctly at the "normal"psi.
Ship out your PCm when you get home to Lyndon Wester and it comes back with a new attitude about requested torque!
Noone has taken me up yet on the free local install @ NewEra performance parts. Im still looking for 2 people, so I can personally verify that my fixtures fit ALL kappas not just my own.
I gave Mike@NewEra a screenname, perhaps he can chime in here about the install price.
As requested I looked up what the difference will be to install the GT3582R in it's place. It's an outline interchange (fits in same physical spot) and the parts cost difference is only $40.
So guess what- so is the difference in price if thats the turbo you desire.
600hp anyone?
BTF, I'd be willing to offer up my Sky for the GT3582R! I'm only a tank full of gas away, and it looks like the Clarion Hotel is located on top of New Era so it would make sense to drive up and stay there for a night then do the swap. I got some vacation coming up in the beginning of Sept so keeps us posted on the updated!
So when will you have the setup on the dyno with Westers tune? Please graph boost too so we can see spool.
Thanks again!

Russ, Im not sure mike's dyno has spare A/D inputs. If you have HPT I can show you the logs that display the data very clearly. 240+kpa by 3350 in 4th.
I might dyno it today If I can get the thing to pull out to 7500... still fuel cuttin' at 7kish
I thought the Westers limit was 7k... I'm fine with 7k at high gears and power levels. RPM is as hard or harder on a motor compared with adding power.
240kpa... 20psi by 3350. Not bad! I do have HPT... is there a link to the logs?
As for the dyno sheet... I, as well as others, I'm sure, need to see real, documented results with basically all power tapped (IE, the tune and the turbo & modest mods like exhaust/intake).

I cant find the one wiht 240kpa in 4th, It's gotta be on the dynocomputer. but there are plenty that I did in second to prevent reduced powermode. Pre-westers of course.
The intake side comes with your BTFR-30R kit. exhaust & intercooler is about all you can do.

Yup thats the one, I'm sorry.
My .cfg was the 5th post down, log was at the bottom of the page.
More cam timing work today to get the load # to stay 200% at 220-230kpa.
This is spring only, I have a 18# spring in there, makes about 20psi some days, 18 others. Im going to put the factory solenoid back into the loop and see if it will stay knock free up to ?psi. Id like to get it to run 26-28psi on the solenoid. It might require a little water/meth to get it there.

A little bird told me that there will be a race tune for the 08's sooner than later. And then you guys can join the fun as well.
It's one helluva street turbo now that the programming is there. I find more power everyday. I cant get past 45lbs/min though. Im gonna go ahead and wager that 450hp with no cat is the definitive limit in what will flow thru that exhaust.
I wonder what P1/P2 is on the stock intercooler at 45 lbs/min?
I turned 7500+rpm tonight. It sounded marvelous. I can tell that by 5800 rpm the stock exhaust is packed up. It doesnt take any more Lbs/min no matter what PSI I put in there.
But hey it's still 425-450hp you gotta give the stock exhaust some credit.
