Interested in your results as I have almost the same setup minus the flex fuel and 27won turbo obviously.

How much hp would you say you are at with that set up?
TBH I'm not sure, I've not put it on a dyno yet. I feel like its a waste of money unless I have all the mods I want on it and get the custom tune at the same time...My last car was an AWD 3.6L Cadillac I know its nowhere close to that HP and Torque yet, but I'm hoping a custom tune while adding the W1 will get me the feeling/driving experience I'm looking for. (I wish I knew the CVT sucked this much before I bought it).

I can say for sure though with the mods I have there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between stock.

When you say you wish you knew the CVT before you bought it, is it because you wont get the most of your W1 turbo because of the cvt limitations?

The limitations... after I joined the forum and started reading I dont think we can go past 230~240 lb. Of torque and even that is pushing it.

Yeah same man , i had a lot of plans to do stuff but the more i got information the more i changed my mind so thats why i will probably just stick with my ktuner , prl cobra and call it a day. Those alone have really changed the car from when i first drove it off the lot so i cant complain and be too greedy unless i want to be out of a car ‍♂

Maybe you won't need to get past 230-240lb of torque. It's just numbers. We are all in the same boat. ;)

I'm seeing the big numbers but if you can't put it down on the street in real world driving, it's wasteful. Maximize the power you have available. You have the perfect transmission for that. Right up to the point where street tire traction can't hold up (FWD).

I'm still on stock tires. Haven't even heard a chirp on takeoff yet, though I do not floor it off the line (heard that's bad)

I literally just want it to go when I see those pesky golf/brz/frs/si(stock) start to creep up on me on the highway.

I dunno why but when ppl see me on the highway they always tryna race...

P.S. I think we are straying away from the thread topic lol.
