Yamatr3,
When I use BHP is at the crank.
You would have to go with BTF other larger turbo to achieve 350 RWHP or higher.
With that setup it would put out more HP at the crank than the LS2 you have on your Solstice today.
We do need to start seen some Dyno sheets from his setup, this one in particular.
BTF has now some competition from another supporting vendor, although they also have not shown any Dyno sheets.
Is to bad that ALL these folks are so far away from Florida.
I've been thinking of getting a coupe in Jan (for my daily driver) and doing a BTF upgraded wheel, an aftermarket tune and calling it a day.
Yamatr3,
Hopefully GM\Pontiac do not do something different to the 2009 coupe ECM and also the turbo.

I will have pics tomorrow. The dyno is getting closer. THe construction is killing my wallet!lol.
The Pit is dug, the footer is Tram'd out and Stakes are driven. I have to lay down the 2x8's and re-bar and I can pour concrete. It should take a week to cure before I set the 6200lbs of 30" dia dynoroll and absorber brake into the hole.
Best of luck BTF, and hopefully this upgraded wheel once you get some numbers out will help you resuscitate your wallet.

plot a line across the 2.2 bar region. we can pretty much ride it from surge to 7000+.
Also for big boosters the 255kpa or 2.5bar line is still much mroe efficinet than the stock wheel.
Who wants the first one? Darin! where are you lurkin?

The map reads out to flow approx 530cfm, or 36.6 lbs/min.
Now the stock map indicates about 444cfm or 30.63lbs/min.
Just the facts, I'll post the TRUE stocker up below and above. (Straight from the Borg, resistance is futile.)
So like I said at least 60hp more flow. Since folks have creeped on 300whp with the stock 30lbs/min It's possible that the motor is on the high side of the 10.5hp/lb/min rule.

So, you're saying it's possible to hit 350whp with this upgrade??!!

Only one way to tell for sure, but the stock combo optimised to the max can do 290ish whp.
Doesnt seem to big a stretch to expect 340-350 from a wheel that can support at least 60 more hp.
I think we need a challenge here.
BTF if you can put some Dyno sheets with this setup that shows 330 - 350 RWHP you have a winner on your hands and there will be a lot of members here wanting this performance solution.
Let's face it $830.00 for the upgrade plus a tune (PCMforless, GMRodaster or Westers), a new IC (Dejon, Hahn or RPI) and the above numbers the price vs performance is a real winner all around for the Solstice\SKY community.
Let's put this in prospective at 350 RWHP we are talking the power of a LS3 at 430 BHP. Well close at about 420 BHP
I am sure the torque would be in the very high 300's also.

Busted!!!! I am going to baseline my current tune, with typical weather for here, with 3 dyno runs and the turbo will then be heading your way. Then we can do same car same dyno and similar conditions.
Dont tell anyone about this, my car is stock right.

Dont you basically have a spare turbo btf? You could have one on hand already upgraded and when someone purchases it you send that one(with a core charge of course) and wait for theirs to come in and start all over... no?
