Default October Issue of "Turbo" ... Greddy Turbo Fake #'s?? page 66.

I was just wondering cause I'm skeptical of this BIG TIME ...

On page 66 of "Turbo & High-Tech and Performance" Oct. Issue. They do a review of 33 Kits.

This is what the grey box says (circled in Red on the right).



Type of Turbo: GReddy/Mitsubishi TD05-18G

Housing Sizes: 8 cm2

Wheel Trim: 55.1 Comp, 76.8 Turb.

Boost on Standard Kit: 5.7psi, 7psi w/intercooler

Dyno Tested output @ Wheels: 220.1, 244.3 w/intercooler

Fuel Enrichment: Fout 310CC Low Impedence Injectors and Fuel Control unit (FCD) "Blue Box".

Intercooler: Optional

Retain use of A/C: Yes

Install manual: Yes

Warranty: Yes

CARB E.Q. D-397-7

MSRP: $3,149.00

Now, the Question is are those dyno #'s accurate? The article does not make any mention of other mod's. What do you guys think?? One would think you can achieve this (from the article) with a Bone Stock Si and I don't think that's the case.

Thats the problem with a lot of stuff spread around on dyno test. You dont fully know the truth on engine mods and if its wheel or crank hp if they dont print it. I think a lot of times if companys help the mags out with stuff and it they are a big advertiser, they will make their product lookk better. I still will say that everyone should not totaly beleive what the read and hear even if its in a magazine. It doesnt mean its the whole truth.

All mags are shaddy. Its a business and the large companys like greddy pay to have there adds in there. Pay a little more, and we make your company look good.
