    Well I forgot about Volvos in my search for a RWD beater. Looking for a 240 wagon now.

    What is your average MPG's with this beast?

            Yeah now that i have another car, the chevelle can stay off the road and i can actually do stuff piece by piece instead of a mad rush to get everything done in one weekend.

              Yeah.. having time to do things right is nice, on the one side, having one car *does* make it so that you fix things as SOON as they need it instead of waiting until it completely breaks.

                Thanks to Alex and Matt for helping me today. Matty has the photos and some video of the wagon on the rollers.

                I broke the 200hp mark on the last pass, adding the new airfilter and hose to the turbo must have smoothed out the flow just enough to help, went from 194hp to 205.

                Not bad for an almost 22 year old 2.3 litre, 8 valve engine with stock cam. (factory @8psi 160bhp @ crank)

                Next time i will have the AFM moved to the intake side where it can feel cool air and far less turbulent flow, i think that's what's hurting me right now.

                I'm very happy with these numbers, for today.

                wastegate setting of 12psi max, 163.92hp and 201lb/tq, open turbo inlet

                high boost pump gas 18.1psi max, 205.70hp and 234.69lb/tq, filtered inlet

                        18psi was the max, not sure if it bled down or not

                              12psi and pig rich was the base, 18psi was the end result. I just consulted. Dag did all the tuning work

                                Ok, that's what I thought at first then I thought 12 may have been low boost setting.

                                Good work Dag!
