Well took the car to the track. First run was not good at 15.0 at 110 got wheel hop at the top of first so i let off. Second run was a 13.7 at 109 still wheel hop top of first but just put the clutch in this time. Thrid run was 13.5 at 114. Same as other kit but i was only seeing 24psi on this turbo. It been a long time sence i been to the track so i a little rusty.

Hey iboost, you enjoying Hawaii? I was living out there for 5 years, just moved to Cali in December. Let me just say, you'll be a rare site. Back in 08 when I had Ron Burgundy I was one of 2 SS/TC on the island. There are a few more now but I think I can count them with my fingers still. H3!!! Baby!!!!
I lived in Waikiki. Go to the Nex(the front, not the back) on Fridays. My friends would love to see you SS.

UPDATE
My car didnt like the blend and bigger turbo for some reason. It would be fine for a while and then the trims would swing and start the part throttle kr again. It was fine on the blend and stock k04. Anyways, I decided to go back to 93 at stockish settings with the 2860 and shes real happy now. Im slowly adding timing and boost until it starts to kr again and then will back it off a bit. Ill probably run full E on it once Vince releases the full E tune to me. I should be dynoing here soon Get some stockish numbers on 93 and then dyno again on full E later on in the year, but so far so good finally.

So wait, you're telling me you spent the money to do a freakin turbo upgrade and now you're throwing in the towel at the finish line due to an extra $80?!? Come now you must be joking..
Just on principle alone I wouldn't send you the $80..

Dude I also have other projects besides my daily driver HHR SS to worry about (much faster projects then a HHR SS with a GT2871 turbo ).
So before rattling off at the mouth, take into consideration those of us that actually went out on a limb and bought the turbo upgrade have other priorities besides a dyno graph to satisfy your curosity to whether or not you think its worth your money to buy one.
Those of us who have one running correctly already know the results without a dyno graph, yes its thats noticeable with the GT2871. I'm running the exact same amount of boost I was running on my KO4 with the BNR GT2871, 26 psi, the difference is very noticeable.
By the way I didn't throw the towel in on ****, my car runs awesome. I never had a problem with the BNR turbo from the get go, installed it, started it up and ran, no leaks what so ever, the only problem I initially had was getting the BOV set up correctly, but thats not BNR's problem. It was mine and I fixed it.
I've been driving my GT2871 around for 3 weeks at 26psi, trouble free with a huge ass grin on my face.

his 26PSI tune on a synapse stage III did make 422WHP so I would like to see what it does with the BNR
You have to datalog with any tuner, no tune is "good from the get go"

yeah a Spec stage III +
Did the guy have an aftermarket clutch with thesynapse stage 3?
Vince did say that he could unleash even more power once I get a clutch install. (maybe he was talking about how fast it ramps up do to the factory clutch))
I don't know what kind of difference that would make in dyno numbers.
