Why don’t you at least stick with ONE dyno. You’ve dynoed all over the East coast apparently.

LOL

I think this thread is approaching “lulz at other forums” levels. At least Ed is derailing Ed’s thread lol.

So back on topic, did they install your REVO DSG and stg 2 flash?

I certainly wish so but no. 8.5’s still an orphan. Installed an Aquamist meth injection system and the inlet.

OMG, need I write more?

Ed, I’ll be honest it doesn’t look bad at all… Not for me but still not bad… Don’t think it will do anything performance wise but I guess will see… No one should question your desire to go faster that’s for sure… Lol

The one angle the color looks off, did the paint the mesh?

God this is so worth quoting.

I predict epic failure and waste of money.

This is what I’ve been saying. I’d really like to see if this does anything. I seriously think this is something that will end the conversation and forever be the reference point for future people looking for that extra little bit. Or we could be surprised and see that extra big push.

Ron, thanks. It’s the lighting, all the paint was matched with the door sticker number, mesh and inlet painted and entire hood redone as well.

Whether or not it gives more air to the intake or not probably will never be known. However, I bet the air going into the Roc Eoro filter will be considerably cooler than that coming in from over the radiator or stock air box.

I applaud what you did. That is extreme. I was going yo comment but notarmed posted a picture. I’m not too sure the air scrubs the hood in that area. With it being flush there might not be anything to actually grab the air. Please share your findings.

There is a second possibility here for a mod and that’s if this helps reduce motor bay heat. That could really help performance even if the air dam dosent function like you might want.

Yeah, log IATs and ambient air (so you get rise above ambient).

Let the car warm up to it’s operating temperature (cruising on the highway). Then do 5 back to back pulls from say 30-60 (on a clear road).

Compared the results doing the same with the NACA duct plugged.

That should give good insight.

Thank you. One thing is for certain. On my drive home, 87F, I saw for the first time ever on my P3, 16 psi boost and 16 degrees advance. I’d suspect most of it was due to the newly installed meth injection system?

I sent some logs, prior to the mods, to Primetime. Uncertain if they were done properly? Of course just plugging the inlet and turning off the injection would return everything to stock. Let me see what he has to say, if anything.

Did you think you’d get a warmer reception at AZ? :stuck_out_tongue:

We’re a far better crowd here.

Those guys are even more brutal :smiley:

Nope, go take a look. Most people seem to be risk adverse, nail biting, hand wringing, bed wetters. Too bad.
