Ebay turbos are efficient enough to put up better numbers than that...

Stock Y8 will do around 215whp on like 10lbs from a .57 trim....

It shouldnt have taken you 12 more psi for 65whp more.... And thats stock...

Let alone an engine with a completely built head...

Numbers are definitely low, you should be at 350 easy.

The problem is that the eBay turbos are sold as "57 trim" and are really closer to 40 trim...

Interesting choice of cam, I probably wouldn't have gone with a Crower Turbo grind.

No it is still the stock throttle body. And yes ebay I think it is smaller than a 57 trim haven't measured it yet. Car is parked for winter now though. Also wastegate was leaking when got it tuned I think so could only make 22psi. Manifold kept cracking of course. But yes with new mani and wastegate I am excited to see hopefully 300+whp. It is also being dynoed on a mustang dyno...

Your intercooler looks to big for your set up. I would also do a compression test. eBay turbos work ok but a new one should be in the future. But all in all the car is clean

You should probably put it on a FWD dyno...

I would like to just to see what it puts down but where I take it to get tuned is a mustang dyno so not much I can do.
