Default The GT2X is back!!!!!

and its running GREAT!!!!! It's the turbo that won't go away... after a friend didnt like it and it helped me blow the motor in my bug.... I sold it... and... well my friend sold his 1.8T Jetta and got a new GTI so I gave his his money back and got the GT2X back... and its on some Neuspeed KO4 Software with TT injectors, TT MAF, and adj FP reg. and a stock timming profile... and well I can't dyno it tell the weekend but I will be at the 1/8th mile tomorrow. I got a AEM wideband AF meter and I am watching the knock sensor with my volt meter....so I will know whats going on this time. Its running 19PSI spike and holding 15PSI at 6200RPM with a N75J and no MBC... I do have a check light.. long term fuel trim too rich.. and no cat... But Its a little slow into boost but when it does.... It feels like I got rearended by a big rig and smokes the tires all the way through 2 full gears.. With my KO4 setup seccond gear wheelspin was not that bad... with this setup... seccond is like first with the KO4.. And on pump gas...no more race gas...I am going to try and make this work with the custom Neuspeed software... They said If it works they will sell it if you ask the right person but no tec help or warranty will come with the software. After having GIAC, APR, AutoTech, and Neuspeed software in my 032 C APH Bug.... Neuspeed is the only one who was open to trying things with the crappy APH ECU and my power numbers show.. so think of them when you need parts... I am going to shoot for 250-70WHP at 15 PSI on pump gas and mid to high 8's in the 1/8 mile and mid 13's in the 1/4 mile. If I can make this setup work I could sell the whole thing to people on the ORG for under $2500 with new TT drop in Injectors, TT MAF, GT2X Turbo W/inlet pipe, oil lines/gaskets/bolts, and The software to make it all work to make 250+WHP with room to grow... Then we wont be left out in the cold for big turbo upgrades anymore!!!!!!!!!! or have to spend $5700 for a APR 3+ kit from BAR..
It would be the first bolt on BT setup for early bugs... OK i need to calm down now... any So Cal people feel free to come up to me at Irwindale Speedway on Thruesday nights... im the only guy drag racing a yellow new bug .. or Meet up with me at one of the GTG's all ove so cal...

I've built several MegaSquirt projects. I love MS-Extra code.
I've been thinking of running MS on my VW later when I put a real turbo in it. Good luck.

What version of MS are you using? What code? What's your engine and fuel system specs? Maybe I could say, BORROW your fuel and Ignition maps? lol DO you have a page dedicated to your race car somewhere?
