Who the **** is JSC speed. Order an intelligently designed product from an MT vendor.

As for the cat, there's no way I'm tuning that engine with anything but a test pipe. That being said, you really only need the cat for emissions. Save $40, shop the bay:

Aren't engine stands nice to work on?
I talked to the main dude at KO racing while Ed's car was there. He dyno'd a VVT engine that the guy said would make 140 hp. It ended up making 128hp. Yikes! That will hopefully not be this engine.
He charges $60/hour for dyno time. Wanna see what your 1.6 is currently making for a comparison? That's $60 well spent. And I bet it'd be cheaper for just 3 quick runs. Most people do that in the $25-30 range, but I could be wrong. Give him a call!

Call him up, he's super nice.
I'm using generalized pronouns because I completely forget his name.
It's always a good idea to get a relationship with your dyno owner anyways. The more they like you, the more knowledge and experience they can help put into your tune. I just mash the keyboard.

His name is Kris. Guy works super hard. Dropped my car off at his shop last night at 10:15 and not only was he still there working, but he was super nice still and took the time to chat with me about plans for today.
He charges $60 for an hour of dyno time or three pulls, doesn't matter. You want on the dyno, it's $60.

Who cares with a turbo. 1psi more and you've made up for the loss 2 or 3 times.
Bolt ons and standalone, yes. I don't think this one will be that low, I'm guessing the vvt wasn't working? That or something was majorly wrong.

Why do you guys assume a i/h/e vvt engine should make 140whp?
Because emilio did it on some of their cars?
Pretty sure vvt does nothing for peak power gains on a n/a car (at least significantly).
Variation in output can easily vary 13hp between different cars, dyno's, locations, days, etc.
I dunno, just seems like everyone is stuck on numbers when we start talking about this stuff. Like 140 would be amazing, and 128 is crap. Which, to me, is funny.
