Sorry for crappy image but here it is.

Are you stock clutch? If so, any sign/mentioning of slippage?

Why does it fall off near redline? I was hoping it would ramp up.

Probably he end up the pull and left the Dyno running for a bit

Stock clutch but it is hard to tell if there is any slippage. I at least don't notice any.

Fall off near redline is due to my RV6 catted down pipe. I am going to be going cat less and going back on the dyno which should clean that up but with how the car feels right now, its impressive.

Mitsubishi Turbo purchased.
Should be installing on Tuesday.
Will be tuning with James/Ktuner owner to create a map that is based on stock fuel system.

yes there will be a bunch left on the table.
But I believe there is a market for those that want to do a drop in turbo and not have to pay 1500-2900 on additional fuel system
And want to make a little bit more power on less boost.

nice , howd the install go overall?
The process in general is relatively easy.
Although a couple things to note.
No studs were provided for the turbo housing. So I attempted to pull the studs off the OEM.
1 came out 1 did not after using the two bolt method, taking a torch to it 3 grown men yanking at it at the same time. The stud seized.
Honda has the stud back ordered for over a month.

I would suggest purchasing new studs to not even have to reuse them. Maybe it’s common sense but it wasnt something on my radar. Found some studs at autozone after 3 hours of troubleshooting and moved on.
As someone else mentioned you will need to find a way to stop the coolant.
I put 2 clamps down..... that didn’t help one but still managed to dump half so that was a bit annoying.

I’ve done 4 downpipe so this really was not much different than that. Just a couple bolts more to get the turbo off. The seized stud added 3 hours of nonsense.
