A video was just released from the NYC motor show, and the boost gauge reads 30 PSI redline...did they just put that there to toy with our hearts? lol. I know the ST has a 25 psi gauge and only gets around 20, so obviously the gauge will leave some room on the table. But even at 25 psi the 2.3 would be putting out around 430 hp...dare I dream?
430hp would be a stretch on the small (albeit larger than the mustang) stock turbo. However, from what I'm seeing, it should be close to 340hp factory and with bolt ons and tune, I wouldn't be surprised if it could touch 400hp.
Bah, I just noticed the boost gauge goes up to 30 in the mustang as well, and it's only putting down 18 psi, guess it doesn't necessarily mean anything for a moment though I was really excited there lol
I've never bothered to look actually, I'm just going by the factory numbers. The Canadian version of the gauge is stupid anyway, it's in bars so it's pretty hard to tell what level you're at since it's such a small spread
Curious... Why does no one seem to run a boost controller? When I had my srt4 it was relatively normal to run full bolt ons, exhaust, and a boost controller/stronger wastegate on the stock turbo. Tons of power added. No tune.
It looks like FFTEC.com could be a possible vendor for the FoRS platform since Performance package IV is being offered for a decent price for the EB Mustang.
I hit 23.4psi or something like that all day long in my '14 ST3 via: FSWerks 93 Octane Stage-1 race tune.
...well at least that's what my Access Port says.
One of the things that really excited me was the addition of the high-tensile, iron sleeves and better head gasket.
Even if 320 is the official number, E85 and a tune will push 400 with no problems in my book. The 2.0 WRX guys are going from 200-215 stock dyno to 340/320 hp/tq with E85, downpipe and a tune!
