sorry in advance this will be a relatively long story..... Well, I had an appointment last thurs. to get my B&W car tuned at UGR. I set out at 3AM and arrived around 6:30AM. I unloaded the car and drove it inside. Prior to putting the car on the dyno Casey wanted to check out the install we did and make sure everything was OK. He informed me that the barrell connectors the split sec. instructions call for are not a good idea and proceeded to solder every single wire. He also wired up some relays for their elec. fan kit. He jacked up the car and checked everything that had been installed (talk about picky?!) So by the time he installed the relays, soldered all the sp. sec. wires, and some other things it was around noon I believe. We were all pretty hungry so we broke for lunch. I decided I wanted to change the pulley out on the Paxton for more boost so when we got back Kevin asked Mike if I could use his tools to remove the blower and switch the pulley out and if he would assist me if needed. Mike graciously helped me with the removal and reinstallation of the S/C. Casey (overlooking our progress) noticed that one of the hoses was dangerously close to the idler pulley and told me to shorten the connection to avoid contact. Finally finished it was time to tune!!! Casey started the runs and we noticed the w/m light wasn't working
Upon further inspection there was a relay needed for the trigger so he proceeded to get a relay and wired it up. In addition there was a prob. back at the pump as well so we unstrapped the car rolled it back and removed the rear wheel to attack that problem
Mike assisted Casey and I with the car and got the w/m working
so back on the dyno again for tuning... Casey did several pulls making changes to the fuel and timing for driveability, I can not believe how aggravating a split second is to tune
The thing fights everything with the fac. computer. After prob. 8 or 9 pulls the car was extremely hot and by this time it was well after 5:00PM!!!! Casey told me the car was heat soaked and needed to cool if I wanted to make any "real power" I declined because I had already wasted their whole day
I told him I just wanted it to be a very safe tune for pump gas and whatever power it made would be ok .Especially since it was 96 degrees with 100percent humidity I knew not to expect much
This is an 86K mile 100 percent stock motor *cast manifolds, stock tb's, stock rockers, stock heads, stock everything besides cat delete and Corsa catback. The S/C is the UGR Paxton kit with 55lb. injectors, fuel rails, and Aeromotive fuel pump. So........ enough with the excuses already LOL! the pull netted nearly 830RWHP!!!!!! boost only!!!!!I was amazed to say the least!? We unstrapped the car and took it down the road, I could not believe it but the car actually drove BETTER than stock?!?! I could not have been happier! It was after 6:00 now so Casey helped me load the car and strap it down and bid me farewell. I got a call about an hour into the trip....it was Kevin making sure I was happy and alright to drive home after being up 38 hours straight LOL! Who does that? really?!?! A good friend that's who!! In closing don't use UGR unless you want uncompromised perfection and unparalleled service by some of the most talented, and genuine people in the perfomance business

videos coming soon
P.S. I do have one complaint...... Kevin made me ride in a TT car
now nothing I have feels any faster than a school bus
Anyone considering doing a twin turbo consider this........ THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER CARS ON THE PLANET WITH THIS TYPE OF PERFORMANCE IN A TRUE USEABLE ,RELIABLE STREET CAR PERIOD!!
