volvoluvin Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 2 words...Totally Rad**I'm 35, and the feeling I had after doing the install made me feel 18 again...hence the term Rad being used...What a difference this has made, on so many levels:Butt Dyno - Through the roofThrottle response - Absolutely amazingSmile on my face - Ear to earFront Tire(s) - Soon to be deadTune is set up for 18psi, but until I have my wideband installed I'm erring on the side of caution and leaving it at 15psi, and at that, it's amazing...that and with my 16t I'm fairly certain that I'm at or near it's max already. But that is soooooo fine with me! It's obvious my BCV was on it's last legs anyway, prior to the tune, so I'm seeing a huge difference in the throttle response and spool...I say it again...RAD.This is the MBC:(mine's a touch different as you will see in the crappy cell phone pics below)http://www.forgemotorsport.com/content.asp...;product=FMUNOSInstall was a snap, fastest HP upgrade I've ever done...20 mins...for what....40-60hp more?...dyno in a month will tell.I'll get some pictures over the weekend of the MBC install as it looks perfect.Current set up:95 T5-R (Auto for now)16t3"dp with sport Cat2.5 Eurosport cat backMSD ignition from IPDForgemotorsport MBC @ 15psiEurosport Stage II ECU updgradeIPD Short Ram IntakeEurosport Rip KitBring on the one tire fire!!Pic of the car for the hell of it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvoluvin Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sounds like fun....need to buy parts now hehe...yes...very fun...I love modern cars...I spent 10K getting my old 245, (which I loved, so don't get me wrong), from 140whp stock to 220whp...or $125 per whpwith this, I spent, I dunno $500 on a full stage 0, then, $750 for the tune and MBC, so round up to $1300 for probably an extra 50whp...or $26 per whp Now I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but it's still a fun compare...and the 850 is so DDable compared to where I had put the 245...did I say I love my car?

A set of IPD sways would be nice.Couldn't agree more...IPD garage sale in May, it's on my hit list...I've done everything else to the suspension, it's currently running the Koni FSD's and Eibach kit from eurosport, and all the bushings replaced, and camber bolts...so for now, all that's missing are those bars...I'm also pretty sure big brakes are on the horizon before I do the manual swap...
