Are you a 11 plate 10 plate or 9 plate clutch?

Hmmm interesting, will look into this if a GEN 2 clutch doesnt work out.

Very nice results.
I have the Dodson 10 plate, it isn't bad at all.

No, I went with the Dodson because I have a tendency to go big on drivetrain upgrades when I build cars.
I do plan to have the built engine discussion with AIM at some point.

We have quite a few booked in for the upgrade and I’m sure it’s going to continue to be popular with the proven results.

We asked Emre to turn it down abit as the torque was a little higher than we wanted for the stock motor, and yeah the 151 trap was with it turned down.

Thanks for the explanation Amir. Sounds like this is a great mod for the regular stock engine stock pdk bolt-on cars running upgraded VTGs, where it is harder for the tuner to control the mid range torque. A lot of us who have had our cars a long time and are concerned with longevity don't want to push beyond 25-26psi on race settings so we have plateaued on power because anything else we try with the VTG setup will continue to increase mid range torque.

This intake plus a retune could be very effective in dropping mid range torque a bit and gaining some nice top end power. Plus the added safety of getting rid of the plastic intake, which we have seen to fail and crack on occasion.

Great job.

I am planning to go with Dodson this winter and convert my ByDesign stage 4 to XR set up. With dodson i can be a solid 900whp.

You can have 900whp on the stock clutch too, I had 920whp on a stock clutch/engine, but it's the torque that makes you go fast, but you can't have much of that on a stock engine

Yeah thats what i meant to mean, can go higher tq level. Pushing any more than that requires to build the engine for reliably push the power. Not the route i want ever to go honestly.

This is where I am too. I'm thinking I will stop at the Stage 4 level with Meth and then fortify the driveline with Dodson clutches and maybe a Wavetrac differential.

Then again, I also told myself the car was fast enough stock. Then I said all I needed was a tune. Then I said an exhaust was enough. Pretty soon I was saying I just wanted the bolt ons but no Meth. Now I'm saying Meth is the last step? I don't even believe myself anymore.

LOL. Yup. I started with OTS Cobb tune. Then AIM/ES 700. Also resisted meth...then acquiesced (meth is awesome btw), then ES800, then built motor ES1000, then 1200, then 1400...slippery, but fun, slope.

Agree with all points.
Do have to keep it safe on stock rods.
I'd love to let these garretts eat with a set of rods...I think it would be fun.
