Sorry forgot to add-this is on a Carerra T with base turbos.
"Soul Cat Bypass, Tial inlets, BMC filter, Cobb protune by BGB Motorsports"
Thats a lot to add for only +13hp, no? I know its hard to compare one day vs another, but feel the impact? Was it worth it?
I say that, having soul on the car, headers on the car, Tial inlets on the garage floor, and filter on the garage floor! lol
Yes, to be honest I did expect a bit more power-but at these power levels on base turbos they are pretty much maxed out. From what John @BGB Motorsports was telling me, the big differences are going to be seen in the torque values...as much as 70-80 lb ft under the curve however without torque readings before or after, I dont have that data point. I can say that seat of the pants the car does feel better over stage 1 OTS maps-the biggest difference being the Cat bypass pipes.
I am eagerly awaiting @Arin@APR test of headers and various mods to see what the real world gains would be. Thinking of headers next to see what it will pick up. @Soul Performance awaiting the development of your headers to make a decision.

I know, it's pretty crazy. You're talking nearly $4500 dollars in parts, at least $1000 in labor (for those who cannot do the work) and I bet the performance does not even come close to that of APR on 93 octane.
Hoping for some independent results of the APR 93 octane dyno's on a base/Carerra T...I think the earlier maps (v102-104) are on par with APR powerwise-safety I cannot speak to for cobb but I can say APR has provided tons of data to show that they are monitoring additional sensors and parameters when building their tunes for this platform. I can say that John @BGB Motorsports has verified that my logs look good with no knock present on previous runs.

I think you are on to something with the base turbo's being maxed.
APR advertises base turbo's stg1 93 @ 446whp, John has you at 466, so the dyno performance is very similar.
You are up a 100whp, not too shabby!
Yes, very happy with my tune thus far-compared to my gt4 $5k got me around 30-40hp-over 100whp from stock on this platform with no major hardware changes is awesome!

In real life, your power curve is probably better as it looks like you have no airflow to the intercoolers on the dyno. The cars are already a bit prone to high IATs due to non-direct airflow to the intercoolers while driving. Do you have a datalog of the dyno pull to have a look at the IATs?
Yes, I datalogged the runs with the accessport (another great feature of it). Iats were higher into the run, but we did allow the car to cool between to try to minimize heat soaking.

IAT's were starting around 110 degrees for these runs and ended around 140. I have another run where I didnt cool the car down and it lost massive power...IAT's for that run started over 135 and went up to almost 170.
I’m having fun with the dynojet software and my runs. Here is one comparing my stock runs vs the most recent
137whp increase in the mid range!!
Nice! On the dynojet, it looked like the run was only about 7 seconds. So it was probably quick enough to avoid pulling timing with those IATs. Regardless, amazing what these cars can do with bolt-ons and a tune!
Yea not too bad-although it was about 15 degrees hotter outside this time compared to last. I am sure if it was a bit cooler it would have made a bit more power this time around.
