PCMofNC has been around a long time and they back up their reputation with solid work.

Next, enjoy it for the summer and figure out what's next.

I still have a lot of things that I have done that I need to get updated here.
Just Friggin Awesome Brother! You are in a very small group of individuals who can accomplish those kind of mechanical ugrades and sort it all out to work properly. Well done.

Wow, over 1k is nasty. Im excited for you! This is exactly why I wanted turbos. A few pushes of a button and you go from 750ish to over 1050 totally on the fly.

This was the 1300cc injectors? Pump gas or E?

That is exactly why I went turbo! No belts and pullies for me. Also the sudden rush when the boost comes on, nothing like it.

Straight E and ID1300xds injectors. Should had went with the 1700. I am happy at the current levels for now, so I am not to concerned with it.

I'm running 19" ET Street S/S at 25lbs and it's painting the road every time you mash the loud pedal in 3rd gear. Fortunately I've got it going straight for the most part now. Probably should drop a couple more PSI in the tires.

Words cannot express how happy I am to be in the members club.

Scary part is it almost didn't happen.

Car originally made 935 and was bleeding boost. Tuner didn't know why and Me being 2 hours away, couldn't just get there to fix it without him wasting dyno time. We agreed that I would find the issue and consider doing again at a later date if I really cared enough for the 1xxx number.

I show up to pick up the car and it occurred to me that the GFB 3 controller has overboost protection. I show up and was talking with the tuner and he is telling me what he experienced on the dyno. I asked him if he raised the overboost protection up and he is like yes. He get's in the car and double checks at it was at 17psi. Oops!

He volunteers to put it back on the dyno at his expense if I have time to wait, and of course I do!

3 pulls over 1xxx with a max of 1063/977 at 19psi.

I was grinning the whole way home.

Status update of car:

Car is running very good. Plenty of low end torque with the extra cubes. Very tame on the street unless you get into boost. Virtually no surge or idle issue. No overheating. Clutch chatter is not to bad when it's heated up and is holding up better than the tires.

A/C is blowing cold and cruise still works after teaching the CPP sensor.

She is getting tons of attention everywhere she goes. With the cutouts open, there is no mistaking it's a turbo'd beast.

Now I need to come up with a vanity plate. 7 characters. Any ideas? Help is appreciated!
