Secondly what do you know about what chassis dyno that was used for the development of the Perfomer X kit. I can guarantee it was not a Dynojet or some other cheap interia dyno and the publish power figures are honest and accurate.
I do not doubt that that your particular combination may work very well. I do not compare the Performer X kit against every other turbo combination that exists. The Performer X kit is not cheap or a pos, it provides the best of everthing that should be in a turbo kit. The kit is CARB certified, complete, easy to bolt-on and performs as advertized with no tuning. Not all turbo kits do that.
actually the chassis dyno is a dynajet so you must have forgotten everything you've ever learned about turbocharging junior.
I also find it funny, you just compared it to the greddy kit a few pages earlier in the thread but when i mentioned my apex kit putting out 30 more wheel torque than you all of a sudden you don't want to compare anymore.
And the idea of no tuning is just horribly stupid. If you're too lazy/ignorant to tune a turbo car you shouldn't own one.
Every car has different conditions, elevations, and other factors to deal with. When you're pushing 7+ pounds of boost through a weak aluminum block motor with toothpick rods the last thing you want is "universal out of the box tuning"
Besides it's priced so much higher than most the kits out there and the extra intake manifold/parts obviously don't put out any better numbers than say a 15G greddy kit at the same boost levels.
