to compare motors you should dyno them on the same dynometer... different dynos read differently and the ranges are big, compare a mustang dyno to a dynojet...</TD></TR></TABLE>
Well the problem is that I had a B16 OBD-1 that was tuned for 7 psi making 250...now I'm on a 1.8 that was supposedly tuned to make 250 at 11 psi...so, something's wrong. It should be making a lot more.
Like I said earlier, my friend slapped on the greddy boost guage (digital) and he ended up tuning my car better than they did within 15 minutes...
So, we'll just have to wait around until next week, and hopefully everything will be where it needs to be...I'll try to take some pics later today after school.

I really didn't sense much anger, overexcitement, or 'need to relax' when he told you to go look at ****.

Re: (CompanyFlow)
I recommend Stoney at Velocity In Carrolton as well. Those guys are very good and have a very good reputation in the honda community here in Dallas.
I'm gun shy of Jotech from some of the stories I've heard and from my freind's personal experience there. He got his "race" engine built and tuned by Jotech and the engine blew. No biggie, but he was driving normally on the streets (read: not racing) when it let go. When they took apart the engine you could compress the valve springs with your finger tips. If valve springs are that weak you'd think the shop would let you know and have you get replacements for them.
To make a long story short, he asked for a refund or rebuild of some sort to compensate for the shoddy workmanship but they refused and turned him away. That's a lot of BS for a supposedly "Big Time" racing shop.
You can also look up the following members for further turbo and tuning info: Arturbo and Tony1. Art is in the Ft. Worth area and is very well respected everywhere in the Honda and drag racing community as is Tony for his mechanicaland tuning skills. Art finally finished his own race car and is running it at several different pro events. I believe he and Tony1 are opening a shop together as well. Tony used to be the crew chief for Kenny Tran and Jotech when he was winning a lot... before their falling out. Tony is really cool and he can tune the hell out of any car. He isn't the cheapest but he is the best.
So now you have two options... Stoney at Velocity or Tony1. I'd stay away from Jotech. At least contact them to get a second opinion.
Just my 2 cents...
Good luck!
