From what I've seen in the forums, that's not uncommon for W1 + FBO + Flex Fuel + Custom Tune
That's what I was getting at, I wanted to know if he had flex fuel otherwise the dyno was reading high haha

You made 307 on a W1? Impressive. What other bolt ons?

Yep ^^. I’ve seen people consistently make those numbers. I consider mine a bit on the lower end, but I’m okay with that. My tuner has tuned a ton of these things and I got to asking him about tuning W1’s vs PRL big turbo. He basically said the W1 was pretty much perfect for our cars and the current setup that @arpypat mentioned. Sure the PRL big turbo kit will make good number on the dyno, but he’s like you sacrifice so much in the lower end that he said he has seen plenty of W1s tuned in the 320-330 (stock motor) range consistently beat big turbo kits that are in the high 300s or low 400s (with built motors)

You’re correct - W1,W2, and RV6 turbos are all complete drop-in turbos that you can mix and match. I’m really enjoying my W1.

I got a custom tune and it really came alive. I tuned very conservatively and was able to make 307/293. Tuner said he thinks I could have easily gotten to 330 if I wanted.

I originally wasn’t interested in the W2, but now I see they have a buyback program which might make me reconsider
This is on pump gas ???????
