It is about time you posted your experience! I was waiting for you to post. I am a little late on getting on the thread, but good to see you enjoyed it! I told you there would be a nice difference! It is a shame I could not stay longer and chat with you some more. I was talking to Bryan and we deff. need to all meet up sometime and hang out. Eric is a great guy and knows his stuff! The money for what he asks is well worth it and gives you the safety of knowning the work is done right! Chris, pm with your thoughts on the whole thing and your experience for the day.

garretwp, i think i've seen you around, on 95.i live a few towns over from ewing in washington. i drive an 04 jb/w checked car.

 

Really? I will have to keep an eye out for you on 95. Good to see more and more people in the NJ area! Would be for a good time to get everyone together and hang out.

I dont know about those readings at all. there is no way a 19% pulley is giving you an extra 10psi. Somethings not right and i def recommend a flash and bigger injectors cuz yours are at the limits now with the added boost.

Glad you like it though. Good luck with the rest of your build.

And Rohr Autowerks on Long Island does these installs for less and is very experienced with these cars.

 

I'm pretty sure i was driving next to you today on rt.1 while passing princeton MINI. Your car looks really nice. love the rims...

 

I'm just back from Helix and can confirm everything the others have said about Eric.... super guy, great to work with.

As for the ECU flash being next with your 19% pulley, my understanding from Eric is that you cannot flash the ECU with either the 17% or 19% pullies without injectors. For that very reason, I went with the 15% pulley, a CAI and an ECU flash... out the door, installed for $884 plus tax. By my estimation, I should be making more horsepower than the 19% without the flash and I don't have to buy injectors so I can save my pennies for that Milltek I covet. ;-)

I just got the work done today, but watching the instant fuel economy on the way home seems to indicate that mileage on the highway will be the same or a little better. Of the highway... well, I just can't keep my foot from mashing the long skinny pedal all the way to the right... especially now!
