Hey ToyT18,
I know you are not bagging your own car mate. We all got love for the 'one eight' lol It's pretty clear that he was using the stock ECU. That was the whole point of him putting the info up on the net. I suppose technically he was not using the 'stock ecu' as he had disabled the boost cut and tricked a few sensors. If you check it out he has made some pretty clever mods elsewhere, especially in his fuel delivery. I admit it's some pretty extreme figures to quote without backing em up in some way. I was not trying to say anything about your experience or knowledge, although after reading my post I can see how you might have taken it that way. My apologies bro.

It's clear that some 'stock' 3TGTEUs put out substantially more horsies than others. I put it down to two reasons;

1. The motor is in better nick and everything is running sweet as so you get very good results. As compared to one running in need of a overhaul or rebuild. Not to mention annoying shit like boost leaks and ignition problems.

2. Dyno readouts vary greatly between dyno's on the same car. As an example, I had a import Cordia (yeh I know, u either luv em or hate em) running a MICROTECH Digi1 with a few intake mods and a TD04 (wrx turbo) built as a traffic light warrior and it blew the doors off lots of much better cars from the lights. It only put out 115.5hp at the treads but it made all it's grunt down low. It was shit on a highway. So HP does mean not much unless you figure in torque as well. I got it dynoed at another place and they quoted me the same figure almost in kw!

Mods don't always equal results mate. At the end of the day it's the basics of engine building and performance that make for the fast times and big dyno runs.

Plenty of 'modded' cars out there that deliver weaker figures than the same car stock...
