Hey Elliot, man I haven't heard from you in a while. On stock non-sequential turbos, my car made ~289 hp/243 ft-lb peak SAE corrected, smoothing factor = 5 to the wheels on a dynojet @ 13 psi bleeding off to 11 psi @ redline (I've since resolved my boost bleeding off @ higher revs). 
The motor/IC/turbos were starting to get a little heat soaked at the end. I ended up getting about 20 hp/ft-lb more out of the tune, the torque across the RPM range was up too... car feels a hell of a lot better on the street 
I've been beating the **** out of it, have about 1000 miles on the new tune, no issues thus far! Check out the video my girl & I made (aspect ratio is 16:9 widescreen... so you may want to adjust your media viewer):

Did you ever get the bodywork done like you were telling me about? You still going single? What's the setup? I've been thinking about it myself
PM me if you like...

Yes, it has a single turbo kit with some Apexi parts. The turbo is made by IHI. Do you know the specs on it?
By, the way, I pretty impressed with the response.

I agree, as stated before, it spools up faster than my BNR stage 2 which uses a stock housing. When I was checking out the car, I was impressed with the smoothness of the shaft spin, only later did I discover it was a ball bearing turbo. My BNR in my second gen was putting over 300hp to the rear wheels. This one is so much faster. My *** dyno says about 400 horses. What other car can you pick up for 15K that can run with Z06s? I love rotaries. That being said, I'm going for a drive...

This car still has quite a pit of stock wiring that is not connected to anything. I'll take my time and figure it out before I start pulling **** though. Also, still has the oil metering pump. As an FC owner, I pulled it and was running premix. Are you FD guys keeping yours?
