05Boost Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just picked up the last one from 5star/KOP should be here Friday. Awesome. I think I might pull the string and get the cable so i can send you my logs so you have somewhere to start. Think im fairly close to sea level too. Just outside philly. Your going to love the turbo I really dont notice and difference in spool time but it certainly holds the power a lot better. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You are obviously the expert with some of the most recent experience. Unfortunately I am, I definitley know my smoke and exhaust smells for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might pull the string and get the cable so i can send you my logs so you have somewhere to start. -Tom Thanks for the offer Tom but I use only my own maps & experience as a starting point. I only see a small amount of tweaking of my STG1 map in order to have a very nice strong map for the VF52. When I created my STG1 map I did not look at any of the available OS OTS maps. I only used what I learned from tuning other cars to create a map for map, my LGT was actually the first LGT I ever tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05Boost Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 vf52 in yet? how are you liking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testes1010 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 vf52 in yet? how are you liking it? Its in, I haven't had a chance to do any logs. I put ~20 miles or so on it yesterday. I'll log it tomorrow on the way to work. So far seems nice, nearly identical spoolup(feels like it) to the VF40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05Boost Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 thats exactly what i thought once i got mine in haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testes1010 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 My guts telling me that this turbo is going to hold another 1-3psi toward redline compared to the VF40. The extra 4-5mm larger diameter turbine should really help the topend out quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05Boost Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/mymax97/photo-2.jpg not sure what psi im holding at redline. Sidenote should i get the extra adapters when i get my tactrix cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testes1010 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 This turbo should be alot of fun.....considering all these logs were under 17psi on my same STG1 map. Per these logs I'm already on the edge of 300whp w/ just over 300wtq on my DLL software. A peak of 278g/sec vs. 250g/sec or so before with similar temps. I can't wait to crank the boost up. http://www.box.net/shared/gffa0mfete http://www.box.net/shared/9xc31ol26r http://www.box.net/shared/zf30839ktf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testes1010 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Same STG1 map I have posted on Romraider, however boost is just under 16psi during these runs: two runs opposite directions on the same road, showing levelness of the road & consistency of tune. http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/monthly_01_2009/post-367-1231801724.gif VF52(<16psi peak) vs VF40(<17psi peak): http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/monthly_01_2009/post-367-1231801736.gif VF52 vs. OEM 100% http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/monthly_01_2009/post-367-1231801747.gif Compiled data, yes I picked up ~30whp just bolting this turbo on & ~5wtq peak BUT +25wtq near redline: http://www.wrxfanatics.com/uploads/monthly_01_2009/post-367-1231802086.gif Again I can't wait to push +18psi.

LittleBlueGT Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That is awesome that you are not losing anything on the low end with the VF52. Any chance you want to get me some logs per gear (from 2000 rpm) for this thread: Real turbo data..............by LBGT Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

testes1010 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Did you check to see what your IDC was? ~95% peak, second attachment on this post: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2245258&postcount=115 and reply to your last post, you don't need any of the adaptors or jumpers for the Tactrix cable.

05Boost Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Awesome thanks for the info. So are you going to be planning on getting injectors and a pump anytime soon? I got my injectors sitten in the car just need to get a fuel pump. Glad you seem to be enjoying this turbo as much as I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 that looks very nice. the VF52 is looking like a more viable option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
