Nice numbers on the stock turbo. It looks like the aps header did add some power. Were you able to get a video? I would love to hear how she sounds now.

no, agile's shop is actually very small and since it was so cold out they did the tuning with the doors closed, leaving no room to set up a video camera. I'll try to get some video this weekend though.

Great numbers! Is this a record for a stock turbo?

I think I remember seeing SS get some crazy numbers on one car w/ the stock turbo but I think these numbers are definitely higher than normal, which I would attribute to the header. Also, just for reference, Hill commented that the Prodrive boost solenoid was EXTREMELY easy to tune for, much easier than the Perrin. However, it clicks like crazy, I need to find some way to insulate it and block some of the noise.

yeah when I first drove up I was like what the heck is this place? but once I went inside, I was amazed at how much stuff they fit into that little shop. They really know what they are doing too, I have a few pics of their shop cars too, I'll post them when I get home from work.

thanks! here's a link to the boost solenoid. I'd highly recommend it, as it's easy to tune for and doesn't require splicing any wires.

I love the shop cars. I have taken rides in both. Bobby can drive. Now hills car isnt bad either. He took me for a ride on my birthday in the shop WRX, the one with this..........


He had a fresh tank of race gas too. The first time the turbo spooled in 3rd it won the Fight against all 4 tires trying despritly not to loose traction. It was down right vilent. And just talking to them you can tell they have a love for cars. I had a problem with a part once I bought from them, they didnt even install it. They fixed it and didnt charge me anything.

Sorry but I am just curious...do the headers add a different sound to the car on top of the turbo back? Like more mean or anything?
