My average Gtech Pro HP runs are 281 HP.

Autothority MAF with stage 2 chips. Boost set at 15-16 psi. 3 Bar FPR. Cat removed.

From what I hear Gtech meters are +/- 2-3 percent.


Gtech pro meters are going for <$40 on ebay, nice little unit for the money. Better than the butt dyno.

how accurate the gtech is depends on how accurate the weight number that you enter is, as well as how accurately you position it. FWIW i never could get mine to give accurate numbers when compared to the dyno, still a neat toy though.

i am thinking about buying a gtech just to play with it. 40 bucks worth a shot since i know what i make on the dyno already.

If you get a Gtech please post the numbers it gives compared to the dyno sheet you have.

When you dyno your car, can they usually weigh it at the same time?

No, I've yet to see a dyno shop with scales. You usually either have to find a dragstrip or major truck stop to find some scales.

Try landscaping supply companies as most sell material by weight. Scrap yards or auto recyclers always have scales too.

Just go find a truck scale during the off hours. Ive got like four in my area and they all stay on even during off hours. Just roll up, read the number, drive off. IIRC theyre decently accurate.

Is that in any way illegal?

I beleive I asked the same question a while back, however mine was more on a budget. IIRC John aka Porschhhh 951 is running over 300RWHP with a K26/6 but i'm not sure what else he has.

I'm not against going with a bigger turbo, but I'd either just have mine reworked at Majestic in Waco, TX or get another KKK... The car I hope to buy is all stock... so I don't want to put in turbonetics or greddy stuff.. yeah, i've heard how much more advanced the newer stuff from these other turbo makers is, but I know it can be done with a k27 or k26/7... I'll probably also keep the stock airbox look.. maybe I'll go for the total sleeper look and blow away people when they think I'm all stock

I saw your other thread too... sounds like we're on a similar quest.

For now I'll get the basic stuff so I can enjoy my hp increases along the way. Maybe that way I won't get tired of 375HP after 2 months if I did that all at once

I am thinking of staying with the stock j-pipe, airbox, AFM also. Seems a bit grey how cleanly you can attach the j-pipe to a larger than the stock 2inch turbo outlet. What size outlet is on the k27 does anyone know off hand.

ah found a post about it, looks like 2-7/8inches
You will have to change a few things. Mainly the coolant intake hose, and the outlet is 2-7/8" instead of 2". So those are a few things to think about.
