• Maximum Gains: +31?WHP @ 4,670 RPM and +34?Ft/lbs of Torque @ 4,740 RPM
  • Peak Torque Gains: +13 Ft/lbs Wheel Torque @ 2,200 RPM Resulting in consistent low end torque increase
  • Peak HP Gains: +5.0 Wheel Horespower @ 5,000 RPM. Largest peak gains are between 4,700 RPM and 5,800 RPM
  • Turbocharger efficiency is improved by reducing restriction ahead of the compressor, resulting in quicker spoolup 0.7 PSI boost pressure higher than stock at 2,100 RPM. In addition, boost pressure is held higher through the rev range; above 4,500 RPM boost pressure holds 0.4 0.5 PSI?higher than stock.
