Thread: How much power?

  1. #1

    Default How much power?

    For initial upgrades to my 1984 SVO, I wanted to do:
    -K&N Air Filter (remove factory airbox)
    - 3 in catless downpipe
    - manual boost controller 16-18#s
    How much power over stock should this get me?

    How many miles on the motor, are you going to change the muffler? Please see my signature for my dyno results and other goodies to consider such as the bypass valve and real boost gauge.
    If you blink at the end of the straight away you'll miss the twisties and what fun would that be!

    I was looking at a stinger 3 in single exhaust with a magnaflow muffler. There is 39,000 original miles

    You will probably be right in the 190-200 rwhp and 240-260tq. Be prepaired for an over boost situation as freeing up the exhaust allows the turbo to make more boost. Some things you might want to double check are the valve stem seals and the boost controller.
