So you think my throttle body spacer is robbing me of power? I thought the opposite would have been happening since it have air more room to circulate within the intake manifold

Yeah normally that would be good because of the cooling properties and the added space to pull more air in. But another(main) thing the TB spacer does, is create turbulence. Normally that's welcome in non DI engines, because the turbulence causes the air and fuel to mix much better as well. Since our cars are direct injected, all the TB spacer is doing is creating turbulence in your intake manifold allowing and possibly allowing the air to heat up even more in the intake manifold.

I am not a professional, just a weekend wrencher. This is just from personal butt dyno(before and after having my airraid tb) and from my dropped 0-60 time recorded through torque pro. I did several pulls with it on and off and it rose with the tb on. I would recommend taking the advice of people such as Can't_C_Me who are more seasoned and have current boost experience.

Thanks for coming to Lethal Racing for the install. Shawn is looking at the canned tune to fix the idle issue. Sorry, i dropped the ball about emailing your dyno sheet to you Friday. :(

The dyno vid can be seen here on our fb page.

Is there a boost gauge and A/F gauge option with this kit? I might use my old prosport widewand gauge when the time comes

No its not an option that comes with the kit , and if your wanting to get a boost guage I'd look into a unit controller instead ( what I wish I would have done)

Videos sound good! Turbos look good too. Not a lot of room for that air filter though. Guess it's not a problem as long as it doesn't rip open at the clamp over time. I wonder if that's the way it's supposed to fit.
