Mike, why do some tuners make different power than others with the same setup? Experience is the answer. There are other tuners making similar power as Buschur also. Not many, but there are a few. You said there weren't. Try looking up CFT and a couple other shops in Florida.

Isn't Bluebyyou's Evo tuned by Sharif @ Forged and isn't he making 530+whp on pump gas? Is he full of **** too because he's on a mustang dyno also making that much power?

Dave has many years of experience under his belt. This ain't his first rodeo.

My car made 562whp on pump and the reason it's laggy is because its a t67 p-trim on a 2.0l motor and a big ass sheet metal intake manifold made by AMS. The manifold makes more power up top, but pays for it down low. I can and probably will switch to the ported Indy/Wilson V2 stock manifold for better mid range. Indy has many years of experience under his belt also. His V2 manifold made more power than all the other sheet metal intake manifolds tested up to 8K rpms I believe.


There is no way around the lag, this turbo isn't the best combination for the 2.0l, but paired with the stroker 2.3l motor it isn't "as bad". Don't believe me, go take a ride in Nicks car and judge for yourself. Nicks car has certain parts on it that others don't normally do and his car spools INSTANTLY and pulls like a raped aped.

He demolished that TT350Z making 608whp on RACE GAS when Nick was on PUMP GAS. He pulled 5 cars instantly and the TT gave up within seconds. How can that be? The right combination of parts and one hell of a tuner.

All I can reiterate is that the right combination of parts make the build.


Psss, you can run more timing with the p-trim turbo because of the efficient wheel used. That in combination with a kick ass "race" fmic that keeps the intake temps cooler keeps the knock count very low. The way Buschur tunes it, the EGT's are normal.

...but you already knew this though because of experience, right?
