Recently picked up my car from Science of Speed and had some major upgrades done!Engine related things:Stage 1 Engine Build - linkSOS Twin TurboAEM Infinity ECUE85 capableSOS Sport 350 ClutchSOS GT Spec Exhaust (the quieter one) w/ GESI Cats to handle the heatStandard maintenance: LMA conversion, new timing belt, etc.Dyno graph:E85 (blue lines) = A little over 550hp/425ft lb.91 (orange lines) = 480hp/390 ft lb.E85 provides ~70hp improvementBoost: 5psi by 2500rpm, full boost 4000 rpm[ATTACH=full]142158[/ATTACH]Overall, I'm really happy with the results. To be honest, the car is scary fast now, and I have only taken it past 7000rpm once (i haven't driven it that much in the last 2 weeks). The acceleration feels like my Tesla P85, except a lot louder. The car drives great as a daily driver around town, and I haven't given a second thought to reliability.Some misc notes:I had a CTSC on before, and the twin turbo suits me better. Torque response is really good with the TT and I don't think the CTSC has much of an edge over the tt.The Sport 350 clutch is easy to use. Pedal is not much stiffer than stock, SOS says 10% over stock, it's probably a little more than that. Really drivable in traffic. They were able to rebuild my old Sport 275 clutch which for some reason felt very very stiff.GT-Spec exhaust note is deeper than the Comptech exhaust and slightly quieter. After a 6 hour drive to/from SOS, my ears hurt w/ the Comptech exhaust, with the GT-spec exhaust, my ears were fine.E85 is nice, I can fill up with any mix of 91/E85. E85 right now is 25% cheaper than 91.E85 hwy mileage = 22mph, 91 mpg 26mpgI had a 52mm GaugeArt gauge installed, it's really nice not having a plethora of gauges all over the place.Traction control is handled through the AEM Infinity unit now. SOS demo'd it for me and it works well. Previously with CTSC traction control was disabled because I had an AEM V1 before.AEM fuel pump is quieter than the walbro 255I think the engine bay is much cleaner now without the CTSC. It looks stock except for the blow off valve.May have to dial down the boost a bit One last note about Science of Speed: I think they are by far one of the best performance shops I've ever dealt with. I think the key here is that they actually respond to email/phone in a timely manner. They send out weekly updates and kept me in the loop of next steps. My car was there over Thanksgiving and Christmas, so it took a bit longer than usual, but they didn't rush it, and I didn't want them to either.
