I'd love to know what his tuning secrets are. Appears to have a stock 2.5 bar FPR. Has the stock barn door air flow meter. Looks to be the stock turbo as he is still using the factory sized cool side exit hose coupler out to the intercooler. Venting to atmosphere so the car probably either runs very poorly or he has some sort of piggeyback on there to adjust for that....

Call and request a dyno sheet! I'd like to visit him in person and just start asking questions!

How did I miss the "strut base" the first time I read it!

Someone please tell the tool, that even if he did have roller rockers (or any kind of rocker arm for that matter), and solid strut upper mounts (now they take all the flex, as opposed to the towers) he still wouldnt even be half way to the supposed 500 HP.... it would require a 300 shot of nitrous to even get close, but don't try it in second!

Clearly the front section of the role cage being covered in farben ciber stickers is worth at least 100hp!!
I am taking off my Vitesse MAF and putting the Barn door back on, I was clearly missled on the power capabilities of the OE meter!!!!

Let me clarify about the 500hp. It's the 951hp combined with the Flat bed hp ~500hp.

I am not going to hit on the car but I would say to any potential buyer, do not run with the harness in the way it currently is. I think you would hit the windshield before it had stopped stretching and your body had shot forwards

500 with those mods? Right. That's with the PSI set to 30, and 2 shots of NOS, and then everything blew, hence, the flatbed....
