You have ZERO mods listed in your profile, but I see a front-mount.

We can only ASSUME you have no mods if you don't update it.

How are we supposed to help if we don't even know a ballpark of where you could be. :rolleyes:

Stock with just a FMIC and 197hp is good...
 
According to your profile, it appears you have no mods. If this is not the case then you need to enlighten us to what they are. Your post is very vague, for all we know you could be running rich or have a boost leak.

pnishr got to it first : )
 
last time it was tunned wiht only safc neo and it was 291.34
the time wiht the dsmlink and head gasket they were all low like 187 and nothing over 200.
 
What boost are you running?

Obviously the first question is have you done a boost leak test?

Now that we know it's on a 16g, those ARE low numbers (made more on my T25..:D )

Do you have a DSMLink log of the run you could post up so we could look at it?

Are you sure the fuel setting for the injectors on DSMLink is correct?
 
no idont haev the dsmlink log and last time turbotrix dynod my car they did a boostleaktest adn ti was good and the boost was 20psi last time wiht the 291

If you installed a new head gasket since the first dyno session you may want to consider a problem there. Have you checked compression since the HG install?

Obviously you should double check your DSMlink settings.

Are you able to maintain your set boost level through the higher rpms or does it rapidly fall off after reaching the set level?
 
i have boost all the way from 1st gear, 2nd and it drops on 3d about 5 maybe 6rpms turbotrix is dynoing it and i looked one or two times at the lap top they said they would have to look in to what can be i just wanted to get some ideas hoping its nothing major
they also sad it might be the electronic boost controller..
 
ok ima start from the beginning. when I first got the car it had the Magnus intake manifold, aem fuel rail, 720 denso greddy injectors , 3"thermal axgust..i did the fimc, hks bov, hks cam gears, power timing belt, big16g, external gate, shortshifter, aluminum shifter bushings, radiator, flex a lite dual fans , gauges, electronic boost controler "greddy prof b2" and none EPROM ecu with a safc neo..
Got it at turbotrix I had some boost leaks they fixed it and dyno 291.34...
6 months off being stopped I did the j pipe and got it back there to do a 4layer head gasket and Arp head studs. but only to find out had the studs from the beginning and I also got the EPROM ecu with the dsmlink and I dynode my car today and after 7 dynos its making no hp the first run I seen was 197 or 187 and then sense they couldn't see what was wrong I left to work and don't know anything till tomorrow when I call them..
Thanks for your help by the way its very much appreciated
