the borg warner efr 8374 did not fit, but I'm pretty sure a 7670 would. no idea what happened with the turbo, Ptuning is supposed to be asking them, but no update on that yet.

Long overdue update. In the last few months of owning this s2000, I've encountered numerous problems after problems.Science of speed clutch hub skipping a tooth on the main input shaft to having to rebuild the clutch to even more issues with my ptuning kit to finally having it up and running. In the end, the car sustained an impact which has ultimately totaled it through insurance from frame damage
I didn't think it was all too bad, but I think the spoon gusset plates reinforced the upper a-arm so much, that instead of the impact shearing the control arm mount off, it transmitted all the force into the frame. Here was the final dyno chart, tuned by autowave on their new mainline dyno:
530 whp. 91 octane, around 18psi.
The system is very efficient overall, seemingly spooling faster than my old full blown twinscroll t4, despite the slightly laggier gtx35r (compared to the regular gt35r). Mike at autowave was having a hard time keeping the boost controlled, needing to take out a wastegate spring, bringing it down to 7lbs. In the end, he had to put in a boost cut from going crazy and before doing so, said it was making 480whp at 6k rpm at about 22psi. The next step was to install the flex fuel stuff that I had lying around, but too bad that this project has come to an end
